John and Abigail Adams

 

Many times when  I’ve traveled to Massachusetts I’ve ventured to Quincy and Braintree to

check out and visit John Adam’s home. I love to visit the homes of our founding fathers to see how they lived and learn why they sacrificed so much for our freedom and our country. John Adams and his lovely wife Abigail were avid farmers, after all there were no grocery stores to shop in back in their day. They grew everything they needed to survive and their property has been maintained beautifully. I highly recommend putting this historical place on your bucket list.

Walkway to the stables where you could meet up with a few of the Adams descendants sitting on the lawn, enjoying the solitude of the farm.

 

Abigail's gardens are still alive with color

The home of John and Abigail Adams is a place you will want to visit if you are ever in the Boston Area.
