The Adams library

The Adams library which resides in a separate building on the grounds of the Adams’ estate.

The Adam’s Historic Site at this waypoint consists of the home of President John and his wife Abigail Adams and eventually became the home of their son, President John Quincy Adams and his wife.

In 1788, John and Abigail Adams moved into this home which included 75 acres about a mile from their former small farmhouse which their descendant called “Old House” at “Peace field”. John Quincy Adams inherited the home and lived there with his wife Louisa Catherine. The last Adams to live in the home was Brooks Adams who set the house up to be run by the Adams Memorial Society in 1927.

The home contains many historical collections, and a Carriage House and Stone Library nearby. The Stone Library contains over 12,000 volumes including John Quincy Adams book collection. Unfortunately, no photographs or video are allowed to be taken inside the home or library and therefore none are included here.
