Peacefield, Historic house in Quincy, United States.

The residence spans three floors and includes multiple expansions made during different time periods, featuring Georgian architectural elements throughout the structure.

John Adams purchased Peacefield in 1788 and the property remained in the Adams family for 139 years until becoming part of the National Park Service.

The Stone Library at Peacefield contains 12,000 books, including volumes written by John Adams and John Quincy Adams during their presidential terms.

Visitors can access the house through scheduled guided tours that include detailed information about the residence, gardens, and Stone Library building.

The property maintains an orchard containing heritage apple varieties that date back to the original trees planted during the Adams family occupation.
