Old House at Peace field was originally built in 1731. It was purchased by John and Abigail Adams in 1788. Four generations of the Adams Family lived in this house from 1788 to 1927. The family added three additions to the house, as well as updated the garden to the English gentleman’s garden we see today. To tour the garden, please follow the paths in the boxwood hedges.
