John & John Quincy Adams birthplaces and grave sites — Great trip!

Took a day trip down to Adams National Historic Park in Quincy, MA. Well worth the trip!

Can see the final resting sites of John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Abigail Adams, Louisa Catherine Adams, and Nabby Adams (she is buried in the tomb labeled JQ Adams as all 5 were buried there originally before the two presidents and first ladies were reinterred in the crypt of the church across the street).

The gravesites are a 5 minute drive from the birthplaces of both John Adams (the brown house) and John Quincy Adams (the beige house, which is directly next to the original brown home).

Also a 5 minute drive from Peacefield, the brick-topped gorgeous home that generations of the Adams family from John and Abigail through their great-grandchildren lived in. Next door to the house is the Stone Library, originally designed by John Quincy Adams but built after his death by his son Charles Francis Adams (who was also Lincoln’s Ambassador to Great Britain during the Civil War).

There’s also a lovely little visitor’s center across from the gravesites that has a short film on the family, merch and information. A graveyard with ancestors of the Adams, Hancocks, and Quincys also abuts the church as does a nice little courtyard with statues of John & Abigail Adams, and John Hancock.

Total price of it all was $15-$20 for 3 hours worth of tours! Def great if you live nearby or are visiting Boston.
