History will come to life at Minute Man National Historical Park this month when Abigail Adams reads some of the love letters she exchanged with her husband, John Adams.

The living theater comes to life on June 13 at the historic Buttrick Garden on the hillside above the North Bridge in the national historical park in Massachusetts. At 1 p.m. Adams scholar and living history performer Patricia Bridgman will present Abigail Adams: Life, Love, Letters an intimate correspondence of John and Abigail Adams. Beginning with John'™s and Abigail'™s early courtship, the dialog of letters continues through the year 1777.

Buttrick Garden is located next to the North Bridge Visitor Center, 174 Liberty Street, Concord. Admission is free.

The Adams letters provide an unparalleled insight one of the world'™s great love affairs. Through their letters, John and Abigail reveal their teasing humor, their pleasure in their children and their farm, their deepest hopes for their nation, and their undying love and respect for one another.

The fact that this love affair takes place at a critical time in America'™s history is even more remarkable.

Kennedy Presidential Library, Emmanuel College, UMass Boston, and numerous other venues.
