Abigail Adams, Washington DC, and Seneca Falls

Today I head north, to end up in Seneca Falls on the weekend. In 1800, on the other hand, the new First Lady Abigail Adams arrived in the then new city of Washington DC. Abigail Adams was a serious patriot and thinker herself: here are some of her reactions to her new home town.

As for me, the trip to Seneca Falls is to participate in events celebrating the 160th anniversary of the First Women's Rights Convention, which happened in Seneca Falls. For information about events being sponsored by all sorts of folks, including the official events at the Seneca Falls National Park, check here (there you can also find a link to the remarks Senator Clinton gave at the 15oth anniversary of the day.)

Although I go primarily to take in the scene, I find it fitting (and an honor) that I have been asked to deliver some remarks at a breakfast event to be held at Abigail's Restaurant.
