John Adams grew up and lived in Braintree, Massachusetts. Today, the town is now Quincy, Massachusetts. The first home is where he grew up as a child and young man. The next home is a replica of his childhood home that he built for his wife, Abigail. The Old House or PEACEFIELD is where they lived after he finished his first and only term as the Second President of the United States. Adams died at PEACEFIELD. The last picture is the entrance to his library, one of the most beautiful libraries (with thousands of books) that I have ever seen. John Adams and his son, John Quincy Adams (our Sixth President of the United States) used it immensely. The floor inside the library is made of small tile brought in from Italy and only one piece is a different color from all the rest because John Adams believed that only God was perfect. Finally, John Adams said it perfectly in his own words.
