Adams National Historical Park, Quincy MA
Sat, 12/27/2008 - 3:57pm — DaveL
The John Adams and John Quincy Adams birthplace is just under an hour's drive from Acton. Its a fantastic place to visit and learn about the life of our 2nd and 6th presidents - there is a trolly-led tour of numerous sites in the Quincy area, and lasts about 2 hours. A car full of us made this fun "pilgrimage" on the last day of their 2008 season, and had a blast. You will too! We heartily recommend it!! The tour guides are VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE about all the famous and not-so-famous as well, members of these families - they clearly have done A GREAT deal of homework. They are also quite well versed with David McCullough's book, pointing out the ins and outs (apparently, it's a stretch that Abigail and the kids poured lead into bullet molds). The park season is from April 19 thru November 10, and hours are from 9 to 5 (last tour about 3). Cost per person is a VERY REASONABLE $5 per person!

Notable Quote of the day
shoots of arbitrary power
Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers, and destroyers press upon them so fast, that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon the American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour. The revenue creates pensioners, and the pensioners urge for more revenue. The people grow less steady, spirited, and virtuous, the seekers more numerous and more corrupt, and every day increases the circles of their dependents and expectants, until virtue, integrity, public spirit, simplicity, and frugality, become the objects of ridicule and scorn, and vanity, luxury, foppery, selfishness, meanness, and downright venality swallow up the whole society
