Constitution Day
John Adams spent most of the Revolutionary War away from his Massachusetts home, first as a congressman and then as a diplomat. While John was gone, his wife Abigail made him rich—in often-unscrupulous ways. Married women at the time weren’t allowed to own property, but Abigail Adams did so anyway, setting aside some of the money she’d earned for her husband and making it her own.

Two Small Pieces of Glass
Celebrate the work of those who used telescopes during the past 400 years. The largest observatories in the world use these instruments to explore the mysteries of the universe.
Join two young people at a star party as they learn how telescopes continue to expand our understanding of the Universe.
