John Adams Birthplace

The wooden residence displays colonial architecture with its saltbox design, red exterior walls, and central chimney rising above steep pitched roofs.

The National Historic Landmark, built in 1681, became the birthplace of John Adams, second President of the United States, on October 30, 1735.

The Adams family cultivated strong values of public service and education within these walls, shaping principles that influenced early American governance.

The Adams National Historical Park maintains regular guided tours from April through November, with visitors starting at the Visitor Center on Hancock Street.

The residence stands as one of only two remaining birthplaces of United States presidents from the 18th century still in their original locations.
