The Old House Through Time (20 Photos)
Images of the exterior of the Old House through time.
In 1796, John Adams wrote in his diary, “I think to christen my place by the name of Peace field in commemoration of the Peace which I assisted in making in 1783, of the thirteen Years Peace and Neutrality which I have contributed to preserve, and of the constant Peace and Tranquility which I have enjoyed in this Residence."
Over time, Peace field was transformed from the "farm of a patriot" to a gentleman's country estate. In time, the Adams family would fondly refer to the home as the "Old House."
