Adams National Historical Park provides a free trolley to transport visitors on a loop between the Visitor Center, the Adams Farm at Penn’s Hill (the John Adams and John Quincy Adams Birthplaces), and the Old House at Peace field. The trolley departs one of the three park locations every 15 minutes, beginning at 9:15 am at the Visitor Center. Please note there are no trolley departures at 12:15, 12:30, or 12:45 pm. Afternoon trolley service resumes with the 1:00 pm Peace field departure.

Free, validated garage parking is available at the Visitor Center. Street parking is available at the historic homes. Visitors are responsible for leaving ample time to travel between park sites. For directions and parking information click here.
