    This Park has a great tour. The trolley takes you to 3 locations and lasts 2 1/4 hours. The nation park rangers told us about the members of the Adam's family and how much they sacrificed for our Nation.

    After reading David McCullough's book on John Adams I developed a burning desire to see his home(s). I was already predisposed to admire him after watching the movie based on the musical 1776 that showcases John Adams' tenacity in promoting independence. HBO's miniseries John Adams was fascinating. The world would be a better place if people were more civic-minded and less self-centered and needy. How fortunate his homes were not razed ... like John Hancock's.

    Truly a tribute to a great American who served his country at great personal cost. His wife Abigail stands as an equal to her husband, also. The National parks service people were very knowledgeable and quick to help. I would recommend this to anyone.

    Fantastic! One of the highlights of my Boston visit and should not be overlooked, especially if you're into American history. You must take the tour if you want to see the inside of the houses. I read John Adams by David McCullough years ago, and this was almost like a pilgrimage for me. So much history here, and so many generations of the Adams family and two U.S. presidents lived in these homes. The stone library is simply a marvel. After the tour, head across the street to the United First Parrish Church and ask the guide to take you down below into the catacombs where John and Abigail Adams are entombed.

The National Park Service gives tours about John Adams and John Quincy Adams for $10.00 per person. They take you to the 2 birthplaces and Peace field which became their retirement home by trolley. It's a good 2 hours, and the Park Service was very knowledgeable.
