About Historic Quincy

Located less than eight miles from downtown Boston - and easily accessible via Boston's MBTA subway and major highways - Quincy is rich in historic, recreational and cultural treasures.

The only city in America to produce two U.S. presidents - John Adams and John Quincy Adams - Quincy is proud to be the home of the Adams National Historical Park, where travelers can tour the quaint, colonial birthplaces of both Adams presidents. The park also includes "Peacefield," the Adams mansion and summer White House that served as home to generations of John and Abigail Adams' descendants.   From there, visitors can tour the Dorothy Quincy Homestead - the colonial estate of Quincy native John Hancock's wife - visit historic Hancock Cemetery or tour United First Parish Church, the final resting place of both Adams presidents and their wives.

Other points of interest include the U.S. Naval Shipbuilding Museum located aboard the USS Salem, Marina Bay - New England's largest marina and the Boston area's premier waterfront dining destination - and the new Granite Links Golf Club.
