From the sweet little farm at the foot of Penn’s Hill to the gentleman’s country estate at Peace field, Adams National Historical Park is the story of “heroes, statesmen, philosophers…and learned women” whose ideas and actions helped to transform thirteen disparate colonies into one united nation.

Adams National Historical Park became part of the National Park Service in 1946 to commemorate the distinguished men and women of the Adams family who dedicated their lives to the development and service of the United States. The thirteen-acre park comprises the Adams Farm at Penn’s Hill (the John Adams and John Quincy Adams Birthplaces), the Old House at Peace field, and the Stone Library. The park’s visitor center is located in Quincy Center and sits halfway between the Adams Farm at Penn’s Hill and the Old House at Peace field.
