Just minutes south of Boston lies one of New England's most captivating destinations, the City of Quincy ("quin-zee"). Known as the "City of Presidents" and "Birthplace of the American Dream," Quincy is where the second and sixth U.S. Presidents, John Adams and his son John Quincy Adams, were born.

Rich in historical treasures, Quincy's remarkable past remains vibrant today as the city embraces an exciting future. Historical sites abound while miles of scenic coastline captivate visitors with their natural beauty. Culture and commerce blend to create an impressive array of year-round attractions.

Be sure to visit Adams National Historical Park, honoring the distinguished members of the Adams family who dedicated their lives to establishing and strengthening the United States. The thirteen-acre park includes the birthplaces of both presidents—recognized as the oldest presidential birthplaces in the nation—plus the Visitor Center and the United First Parish Church with Adams Crypt.

Other notable attractions include Hancock Cemetery, the colonial community's first burial ground; Thomas Crane Public Library, a national architectural landmark; Adams Academy Society; John Hancock's birthplace; Dorothy Quincy Homestead; and Josiah Quincy House, site of many Sons of Liberty meetings.

Stroll the boardwalk at picturesque Marina Bay, the Northeast's largest marina, and enjoy spectacular views of the Boston skyline. Famous for its stunning sunsets, Marina Bay offers several restaurants with waterfront dining options and various retail shops.
