The Birthplaces of John and John Quincy Adams sit right next to each other on Franklin Street.
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.
Join the National Park Service in celebrating the 4th of July at Adams National Historical Park with readings of the Declaration of Independence and at the United First Parish Church with a play featuring the letters between John Adams, Abigail Adams, and Thomas Jefferson.
