Join us as we welcome Sarah Walsh back to Buttonwoods on Wednesday, April 1st at 6:30pm to give a talk about Abigail Adams and 18th-century clothing. We will serve punch made from a period recipe and very light snacks.<\/p>\n
Tickets will be $30* and all proceeds will go towards funding our upcoming \u201cStitching History Together\u201d exhibit and dressmaking demonstration scheduled for July.<\/p>\n
An original gown worn by Abigail Adams will come out of storage for this event, but it will not be mounted due to its fragile state. This is a great opportunity to check out a special, rarely displayed artifact!<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"abigail-adams-18th-century-clothing-talk","image":{"url":"https:\/\/essexheritage.org\/rev250\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-26-142629.png","id":1987,"extension":"png","width":373,"height":541,"filesize":276254,"sizes":{"medium":{"width":207,"height":300,"mime-type":"image\/png","filesize":102249,"url":"https:\/\/essexheritage.org\/rev250\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-26-142629-207x300.png"},"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/png","filesize":40222,"url":"https:\/\/essexheritage.org\/rev250\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-26-142629-150x150.png"},"16-9":{"width":373,"height":450,"mime-type":"image\/png","filesize":218545,"url":"https:\/\/essexheritage.org\/rev250\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-26-142629-373x450.png"}}},"all_day":false,"start_date":"2026-04-01 18:30:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"04","day":"01","hour":"18","minutes":"30","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2026-04-01 20:30:00","end_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"04","day":"01","hour":"20","minutes":"30","seconds":"00"},"utc_start_date":"2026-04-01 22:30:00","utc_start_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"04","day":"01","hour":"22","minutes":"30","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":"2026-04-02 00:30:00","utc_end_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"04","day":"02","hour":"00","minutes":"30","seconds":"00"},"timezone":"America\/New_York","timezone_abbr":"EDT","cost":"$30","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"$","currency_code":"USD","currency_position":"prefix","values":["30"]},"website":"https:\/\/massachusetts250.org\/event\/abigail-adams-18th-century-clothing-talk\/","show_map":true,"show_map_link":true,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[],"tags":[],"venue":{"id":768,"author":"4","status":"publish","date":"2024-03-29 14:57:02","date_utc":"2024-03-29 18:57:02","modified":"2024-03-29 14:57:02","modified_utc":"2024-03-29 18:57:02","url":"https:\/\/essexheritage.org\/rev250\/venue\/buttonwoods-museum\/","venue":"Buttonwoods Museum","slug":"buttonwoods-museum","address":"240 Water Street","city":"Haverhill","country":"United States","state":"MA","zip":"01830","phone":"978-374-4626","website":"http:\/\/www.buttonwoods.org\/","stateprovince":"MA","json_ld":{"@type":"Place","name":"Buttonwoods Museum","description":"","url":"https:\/\/essexheritage.org\/rev250\/venue\/buttonwoods-museum\/","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","streetAddress":"240 Water Street","addressLocality":"Haverhill","addressRegion":"MA","postalCode":"01830","addressCountry":"United States"},"telephone":"978-374-4626","sameAs":"http:\/\/www.buttonwoods.org\/"},"show_map":true,"show_map_link":true,"global_id":"essexheritage.org\/rev250?id=768","global_id_lineage":["essexheritage.org\/rev250?id=768"]},"organizer":[{"id":769,"author":"4","status":"publish","date":"2024-03-29 14:57:02","date_utc":"2024-03-29 18:57:02","modified":"2024-03-29 14:57:02","modified_utc":"2024-03-29 18:57:02","url":"https:\/\/essexheritage.org\/rev250\/organizer\/buttonwoods-museum\/","organizer":"Buttonwoods Museum","slug":"buttonwoods-museum","phone":"978-374-4626","website":"http:\/\/www.buttonwoods.org\/","email":"atrombinoaponte@haverhillhistory.org","json_ld":{"@type":"Person","name":"Buttonwoods Museum","description":"","url":"http:\/\/www.buttonwoods.org\/","telephone":"978-374-4626","email":"atrombinoaponte@haverhillhistory.org","sameAs":"http:\/\/www.buttonwoods.org\/"},"global_id":"essexheritage.org\/rev250?id=769","global_id_lineage":["essexheritage.org\/rev250?id=769"]}],"custom_fields":[],"json_ld":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Event","name":"Abigail Adams & 18th-Century Clothing Talk","description":"<p>Join us as we welcome Sarah Walsh back to Buttonwoods on Wednesday, April 1st at 6:30pm to give a talk about Abigail Adams and 18th-century clothing.
