Adams National Park at Quincy MA?

Image
  My brother, Don and I went to see the Adams National Park in Quincy MA . It is an amazing place filled with history. I took some photos of what we saw. Some of the photos are posted below. I don't know if this was part of the park but I thought it was really neat looking and included it with the other photos.  This is the Peace Field house. The stone library is located to the left of this house.  Here is a cemetary located in the downtown area of Quincy.  i Here is a statue of John Adams (John Quincy Adams?) in the downtown area. It is not far from Abigail Adams nearby.  Each of these pillars are made from one piece of granite. Usually they are made in parts but these are like the monoliths in Egypt in that it is one piece instead of being parts being stacked.  This is the church that has two generation of Adams buried in the basement in a really nice crypt. They have tours of the church most of the year (call to see if they are open before you go).  This a statue of Abigail Ada

The Library At Peacefield?

  My brother, Don and I went to the Adams National Park in Quincy MA. Part of the tour is the stone library at the Peace Field house of the Adams family .  I took some photos. There is a small area in it that one can stand. One could not even lean on the railing that was there. One could see the whole library from that one area and I thought it was truly amazing. I took a whole bunch of photos. It is not as good as being there. It is - in my opinion - way cool and amazing.  I used the camera app on my Samsung Z Fold 5 phone. It does a pretty good job of taking photos. I made sure the flash was off since it was a requirement before taking photos (flash photos were not allowed).
