This week a statue of Sarah Bradlee Fulton was unveiled and dedicated in the town of Medford. Mrs. Fulton is known as the Mother of the Boston Tea Party. Family lore tells of Sarah helping to disguise her brothers the night of the destruction of the tea on December 16, 1773. We are thrilled that a statue now stands in her honor in Medford center, not far from her memorial stone and our dedicated medallion plaque as an honorary Boston Tea Party participant. The Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum was happy to sit with WCVB Channel 5 Boston and chat about this remarkable woman!

Today is the 250th Anniversary of Abigail Adams' most famous letter to her husband John at the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia. "I long to hear that you have declared an Independency -- and by the way in the new Code of Laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make I desire you would Remember the Ladies, and be more generous and favourable to them than your ancestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the Husbands. Remember all Men would be tyrants if they could. If perticuliar care and attention is not paid to the Ladies we are determined to foment a Rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any Laws in which we have no voice, or Representation." This letter was written mere days following the British military evacuation of Boston. Mrs. Adams served as her husband's closest advisor, confidant, and "dearest friend" throughout their 54 years of marriage. Today we Remember Abigail Smith Adams.
