"Oh my sweet little farm..."
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, statesman, philosophers … and learned women” whose ideas and actions helped to transform thirteen disparate colonies into one united nation.

A nice day of learning about 2 Men who were so influential in shaping a young Nation. There number of years of public service is amazing. The new film at the Visitor Center sets the scene before you head out on the tour of the homes. A bit of interesting history -- John Adam's and Thomas Jefferson both died on the same day, July 4th 1826 the 50th anniversary of the birth of the Country. A must see while in the Boston area.
