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."
