at .

Michelle Trachtenberg has already conquered the East Side.

Now, the actress will see what she can do with 18th century America.

The former Gossip Girl and Buffy the Vampire Slayer star will appear on an upcoming episode of Sleepy Hollow Season 2 as Abigail Adams, the wife of President John Adams.

What Is Diana Up To?

For those who slept through AP History, Abigail was also mother to future President John Quincy Adams and an early advocate of equal rights for women.

According to TV Line, viewers will discover that Adams was somehow connected to Katrina Crane back in the day, perhaps as part of the Sisterhood of the Radiant Heart.

Along with the aforementioned shows, Trachtenberg has stopped by episodes of Weeds, Criminal Minds and NCIS: Los Angeles. She recently portrayed Marina Oswald in National Geographic Channel’s Killing Kennedy.
