The 15-Minute History Podcast team welcomes you to a new season of Sketches in History. This segment, just for kids, shows that history isn’t just a story—it’s an adventure. Join Lottie Archer as she dives into her extraordinary notebook, where sketches from history come to life.
In this episode, she goes back in American history to the early hours of March 4th, 1801, and finds a tired John Adams making the final appointments of his presidency. Something incredible is about to happen that will forever set a precedent for leaders in American government. In this episode, your kids will learn about precedent, leadership, and experience what it was like on that faithful day to watch President Adams in his final hours in office!
