We remember John & Abigail Adams as a great couple of the early days of US history. John was a key player in The Declaration of Independence, served as the first Vice President under President Washington and then was elected directly in 1796.
John and Abigail wrote each other great letters. Historians regard them as a wonderful window into the tumultuous times, from independence to the creation of the new nation.
On this day in 1800, President & Mrs. Adams moved into what we would eventually call The White House. It was called The President's House and then The White House.
President Adams lost the 1800 election so they moved back to Massachusetts shortly after. It was President Jefferson who got to live in the new home.
