Quincy: Adams NHP - John Quincy Adams Birthplace

            The John Quincy Adams Birthplace, at 141 Franklin Street, is the is the 2½-story, wood-frame saltbox-style New England in which the sixth President of the United States, John Quincy Adams was born on October 30, 1735.  The house was built in 1717 and purchased and enlarged in 1744 by Deacon John Adams, Sr, who gave it to his son, John Adams, the future second president, in 1761.  John moved here with his wife Abigail after marrying in 1764, adding the lean-to, and they lived there through the Revolutionary  War until 1783.  John Quincy Adams purchased both this house and the neighboring birthplace of his father in 1803, and lived in this house from 1805 to 1807.  It was rented out until 1885 when Charles Francis Adams, Jr. authorized the Quincy Historical Society to use it as a its headquarters before being turned over the City of Quincy in 1940.

Adams National Historical Park, formerly Adams National Historic Site, preserves Peacefield, was designated as part of the National Park Service in 1946.  The thirteen-acre park is comprised of eleven differential structures including the Birthplaces of United States Presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams; the Old House at Peace field, home to four generations of the Adams family; and the Stone Library, believed to be the first presidential library.
