A must do if in the area. Beautiful grounds and a really great little city.
Make sure to make reservations on recreation.gov and book your tour as soon as you have a date in mind as it feels up quickly. It only costs $1 for the tour but you will need an entrance pass that’s $15.
The trolly then takes you to see and visit/tour the houses that both presidents were born in. Then you load back up and get to see where the Adam’s family lived for decades, absolutely stunning.

We really enjoyed our visit to the Adams Historical Park. After stopping at the visitors center, we visited Peace field, the birthplaces and the United First Parish Church. We spent around three hours touring the sites and enjoyed learning about both Presidents. Like the other reviews, check in at the visitors center and get a pass to visit the locations. We enjoyed visiting the site and enjoyed the tour of Peace field.

The site is broken up into essentially three sections. The visitors center with the ticket booth, store and film about the Adams’s family. They will validate the parking ticket. They do offer bus service which we did take but in retrospect I would have preferred to drive between sites. The bus service runs on a schedule. To visit the first two houses took about 20 minutes and we had to wait for the bus for another 20 to 25 minutes. It then went to John and Abigail Adams final house which is spectacular. Again we waited for the bus to take us back to the visitor center. A word of advice, if you want to get the rangers talk and tour, get the tickets ahead of time. They sell out fast that day. You can get them on line. Otherwise you can take an unescorted tour just show you ticket that you got at the visitor center or your annual pass.

It was amazing to see these historical sites. Please read their website in its entirety before going. They are closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Also buy your tickets online in advance because tours fill up quickly. Because we didn’t do this we showed up at the visitor center at 10 am and the next available tour was at 1:30. The visitor center where you get your tickets to see these sites was not informative at all. The ranger didn’t give much information and was inaccurate with the information he did give. He was not friendly. Also he said the trolley wasn’t connected to the tours which was inaccurate. We were told after driving to Adam’s Penn Hill that the trolley is somewhat connected, we could not do a self- guided tour after 11am (which the park ranger at the visitor center said self - guided tours are from 9:30-11:30), and we weren’t told about the inclusive tours at the visitor center that included all 3 homes. Also the tour we did get at Peacefield that was given by a park ranger was not inclusive. This ranger could not answer half the questions asked And didn’t even attempt to explain who most of the individuals were in the portraits in most rooms. He also would only answer questions at certain points of the tour. He wasn’t very friendly.

Having visited both Mount Vernon and Monticello, I had certain expectations of the founding father's homes - visiting the Adams houses offer a rude awakening and clearly demonstrates the differences between the Adams (father & son) versus the Virginia ones. The houses are small, virtually without furnishings and simple - salt box is a very accurate description. However, it is worth the time to stop and tour as you will come to understand John Adams.

There are 3 places to see in the Adams site: the birthplace ( one can self-tour) the Church of the Presidents where John and Abigail Adams and John Quincy and Louisa Adams are buried, and Peacefield ( The Adams Mansion and gardens) Pracefield requires a guided tour by a Park Ranger and each tour must be booked ahead of time and is limited to 10 people. This is because almost everything there is original to the house. One should start at the Visitors Center in downtown Quincy. There is a parking garage directly behind the center and your parking will be validated at the Center. There is a very well done introductory film worth seeing and then one can walk across the street to the Church. We had a very entertaining guide that showed us the crypts. There is a shuttle bus that runs between the birthplace and Peacefield or you can drive and park on the street.
We had a tremendous tour by National Park Ranger Matt who knows his history and was quite engaging and entertaining.
Just be sure to book it online ( up until the day before) or call the visitor center the day of to see if they have any openings for Peacefield. Many visitors just stop in there thinking they can buy tickets there but they are only sold at the Visitor’s Center. The City of Quincy has done a beautiful job creating a lovely park across from the Visitor’s Center and there are many places to eat all types of food.

We opted for the combination ticket when we visited on 5/15/24 which gives visitors a guided tour of John Adams' and John Quincy Adams' birthplaces (south of the visitor center) as well as John and Abigail's home Peace Field (north of the visitor center). To visit the houses requires on street parking which can be a little tricky, but the visitor center will validate your parking if you park in the garage directly behind it in downtown Quincy. The visitor center has an excellent introductory film about the Adams family and their many achievements. Be sure to use the restrooms at the visitor center as there are none available at the historical homes. Also, if you purchase a combination pass, save your receipt as you will need to show it at the birthplace location as well as Peace Field.
Our tour guide at the birthplace homes seemed fairly new and mixed up the historical dates/names a bit, so I am not sure that we got the most accurate tour there. However, our tour guide at Peace Field was exceptional and had lot of interesting tidbits to share about the home and the four generations of the Adams family that lived there and expanded the structure from six rooms to how you see it today. The grounds at Peace Field are open until dusk so visitors can explore the gardens and walk around the house and 1873 carriage house. Highly recommend to anyone looking to learn more about one of America's first families.

While other men may have cast a longer shadow over early American history, John Adams and his descendants may well have cared the most about their fellow citizens. The three homes that make up Adams NHP span almost two centuries and at least 5 generations of a family that dedicated itself in various ways to the betterment of others. The birthplaces of John and John Quincy are located a couple of miles from the Old House at Peacefield so, as others have mentioned, visiting requires a little advance planning, however, it is well worth it. You must reserve your tour time as the house dimensions limit group size. There is no parking at either site, but we found street parking a couple of blocks away in both locations. While you could visit one without the other, it is much more informative to experience both. Our experience at Peacefield was exceptional due to the dedication of our ranger guide. We would visit again without hesitation!

The Adams sites in Quincy are worth a trip, particularly if you have done your "homework" beforehand and researched the logistics. There are three main sites, all separated by some distance (one CAN walk, but it is not pleasant to walk around in the city, traffic etc being what it is) and there is no longer a trolley between them. So expect to drive. The visitor center has an associated parking garage, but at the house sites, we were told to find parking on the street, which is "never a problem". This system seems a bit haphazard and I hope the NPS can reinstate the trolley.
While the houses are interesting and the tours very informative, the whole thing left me feeling a bit depressed. Why on earth have the powers that be in Quincy over the years allowed the amount of REALLY UGLY "development" to occur right next to the properties? The two birth houses are on a tiny piece of remaining grass (maybe 1/4 acre?) in a triangle bound by two very busy (i.e. LOUD) roads with tons of traffic, across the street is a gigantic gross parking lot, unattractive businesses, rundown apartment houses, and above ground electric wires. There is no remnant of the 180 farm acres left. Peace Field, which has retained a bit more space (the whole thing was donated to the town in the will of a descendant of John and John Q Adams) has a lovely garden and a few gravel paths, the stone library, and a pleasant grassy area. But forget any expectation you have of actually experiencing "peace" there. Sitting on the front porch area, one hears traffic, sirens blaring, car horns, etc. We were told that over the years since the bequest (in the 1920s), the town of Quincy has "reclaimed" the property. I guess this means they carved it up and built a bunch of ugly stuff on it. Asphalt seems to be a favorite medium.
Anyway, learning the history of the Adams Family is 100% worth it, if you are interested in the founding of the US. The park rangers are knowledgeable, the houses well maintained, the stories entertaining. Shame on Quincy for not having an appreciation for their own history.

To get the complete Adams story, you need to do some itinerary planning. There are basically three areas of touring interest. First, tours of the Adams' homes, including the two birthplace homes of John and Quincy and their later home of Peace field - which covered four generations, require on-line reservations. Reservations are limited, and times should be booked well in advance of your touring day. It also requires you to drive between the two site locations. Throughout our ranger led tour, several tourists were turned away not knowing that reservations were required. Second, the visitor's center, located in Quincy, is separate from the "tour"- a ranger here will help with your Adams questions and will show a great movie on the Adams history, with narrators including Tom Hanks. The gift shop is also packed with Adams clothing and souvenirs. A parking garage is located in back of the center; the ranger will validate your ticket for free parking. Third - across from the visitor's center is The United Parrish First Church where both Adams and wifes are entombed - docents will describe the rich church's history before taking you to the basement and actually enter the crypt. Our complete Adams itinerary was great - well done!

I will be visiting in a few weeks, when the homes are closed. I know the visitor center is open still though. Is it worth visiting during that time? Can you still walk on the grounds when the homes are closed? I would like to be able to get a good view/picture of the outside of the homes.
Skrevet 25. februar 2019
The grounds surrounding the historic homes are open from dawn to dusk all year, so you will be able to visit to take photographs. At the visitor center there is a 30 minute film which will give more insight on the homes and family. Maps are available at the visitor center to help you explore the grounds. I hope this helps!
Skrevet 25. februar 2019
do you have to take the trolley tour to see the homes, can you drive by them on your own?
Skrevet 21. september 2016
Hi,
The previous respondent is right. I have purchased tickets at the National Parks visitor center in Quincy Center, then I've driven to the "big house" at Peace Field and gone on the tour. There is plenty of on-street parking at that site (not quite as much at the birth homes but not too bad) and then I've just hopped in my car for the 10-minute ride home.

I will be in Boston in September and would like to visit the Adams National Park. We are not renting a car so what is the best way to get there!
Skrevet 22. august 2016
You can take the subway, call the "T" in Boston. On the red line, get off at Quincy Center. Exit on the Hancock Street site. After walking across a green space you can then cross Hancock Street and arrive directly at the Visitor Center. Tickets can be purchased at that location. I hope this helps!

Planning to be in the area very beginning of October. Heard they do not take reservations. How long a wait could we expect?
Skrevet 21. februar 2016
Waiting time will vary with season. Fall shouldn't be bad. Worst wait times are the summer months. The visitor center has lots of information on history as well as a great gift shop & clean restrooms. Waiting flies by. You get taken by trolley bus to the first 2 houses and then you board again to head to Peacefield and the Stone Library. When you are in the library...take a long look around...close your eyes and you can see Predident Adams pouring over the books! Very cool
Skrevet 23. februar 2016
Since I wrote my review in which I said there was no downtown parking at the site ,I found out that the side street on the corner where the NPS office is at 1350 Hancock St has parking in a garage on the right at the end of the street . Take your ticket to the NPS office to get it stamped + it is free parking with limits to encourage NPS visitors !

where is the carriage house located? Thank you Sherry
Skrevet 20. desember 2014
The carriage house is located behind the "main" house of Peacefield, on the right. The Adams library is off to the left.
