Falmouth, MA




Peacefield, Qunicy, MA
The home of the Adams family from 1788 to 1927. President John Adams and his wife Abigail ended their days here. The house passed on to his son, grandson, and great-grandsons. The extended Adams family maintained the mansion as a museum for nineteen years, leaving the family treasures intact, and then gifted it and the granite library, which holds J.Q. Adams's magnificent library, to the National Parks Service.
