Tour guide Karen was excellent. Lots of original pieces. Wisteria had just come into bloom. I skipped the birthplaces.

I am a John Adams fanatic. This was like my own pilgrimage to the home of my favorite historical figure. I went by myself on an extra day of vacation before meeting up with family. I have been desperately trying to get back to visit again. Two of the three houses are nothing necessarily that special unless you are crazy... More

If you like visiting historical sights you will love seeing the house where John and Abagail lived. history comes alive when you see how they lived. you will want to see the HBO series before and after your visit.
