Adams National Historical Park
Operating Hours & Seasons
 

The Park's open season is April 19 through November 10.  During this time the park is open seven days a week from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. To see the historic homes you must be on a guided tour.  Tours last approximately two hours and depart regularly from the Visitor Center located at 1250 Hancock Street.  Please be aware that the last tour leaves at 3:15 pm daily.  We do not accept reservations for tours, tickets are sold on a first come first served basis.  Please be aware, due to the popularity of the HBO Miniseries there may be a 1-2 hour wait and tours fill up quickly.  Expect heavier park visitation on weekends and holidays.

For handicapped or disabled access, please call the park ahead on the day of your visit: (617)770-1175.

From November 11 through April 18 the historic homes are closed.  The Visitor Center is open during the Winter Season Wednesday through Friday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.
