Adams National Historical Park
Description
Two famous Presidents, so another set of historical sites for you. This time the Presidents in question are John Adams and John Quincy Adams. Go for the guided tour of the family home and you will find a library with about 14,000 volumes carefully stored at the stone library, learn about the story of four generations of the Adams family. The park has two main sites: the Birthplaces of 2nd U.S. President John Adams and 6th U.S. President John Quincy Adams, and Peacefield including the “Old House,” home to four generations of the Adams family.
After struggling to read Dave McCullough's book about John Adams and not getting very far I visited Adams houses and it put a lot into perspective. The rest of the book was easy to read. Great place to learn about a great leader that is under appreciated in his role in making us the country we are today.
