The name George Washington immediately conjures up images of cherry trees, Mount Vernon and, of course, the Revolutionary War. With Thomas Jefferson, it's Monticello, the University of Virginia and his enduring ideals. But in between those great men of state falls President John Adams, easily the least glamorized of the triumvirate of first presidents.
Now, with Virginia commemorating the 400th anniversary of Jamestown and the celebration of history in the air, it seems fitting that a new film would begin to detail one of the nation’s least cinematically well-known founding fathers.
"John Adams" is a new HBO Films miniseries filming in the Commonwealth at locations in the metro Richmond area, as well as Colonial Williamsburg. The set and production offices were based out of the old AMF warehouse in Mechanicsville, while farmland in Hanover County and Powhatan County substituted for scenes set in early Boston, New York City, and Philadelphia.
