Quincy is the only city in the U.S. where you can see the birthplaces, homes, and final resting places of two presidents.
The Birthplaces: Visit the two modest saltbox houses where John Adams and John Quincy Adams were born.
Peacefield (The Old House): This was the "Summer White House" for four generations of the Adams family. The Stone Library on the grounds is a "must-see"—it houses over 12,000 original books.
United First Parish Church (Church of the Presidents): You can actually go into the crypt beneath the church to see the granite tombs of both Presidents and their First Ladies (Abigail and Louisa Catherine).
