Midday at the Meeting House: Lady in the Blue Dress.. and You!
Painted in an exquisite blue silk dress by her husband John Singleton Copley, the most famous artist in the American colonies, Susanna Copley was from Boston's elite, a member of one of the town's leading merchant families. But in 1773 she found herself surrounded by turmoil when her Loyalist family were named as tea consignees to sell British East Company tea - the very tea that the Patriots were determined to refuse. Listen as she confides in a friend about her husband's struggles and her fears for her family's safety in a world where the established social and political order is coming under siege. Join in the conversation as historic reenactors Elizabeth Sulock and Elizabeth Mees share two well-clad women's perspectives on a turbulent time.
Join us at 12 noon for tea and cookies, PROGRAM BEGINS AT 12:15pm.
