Adams National Historical Park preserves places associated with the Adams family in Quincy, including Peacefield, the family’s later home.
The park offers a close view of domestic life behind the public careers of John Adams and John Quincy Adams.
Historic-house access follows the National Park Service’s current tour arrangements rather than unrestricted entry. Start with the official planning page to understand which properties are open, where to begin and whether reservations are needed. The park’s buildings are spread across more than one location, so allow time for moving between sites.
