TRAIL DESCRIPTIONS: Quincy, known as the “City of Presidents,” was the home of the second and sixth US Presidents—John Adams and John Quincy Adams—father and son. Today, the 14-acre Adams National Historical Park preserves the Adams’ birthplaces and their extensive libraries, and commemorates their legacy in US history. Quincy is also the birthplace of John Hancock, President of the Continental Congress and first & third governor of Massachusetts. Both routes explore Quincy’s downtown area with notable historic landmarks, including Adams National Historical Park, Dorothy Quincy Homestead, Mount Wollaston Cemetery, and United First Parish Church (the final resting place of John Adams, Abigail Adams, and John Quincy Adams). Walkers will find a special treat at the checkpoint, Ginger Betty’s Bakery. The 10km route also includes Quincy’s coastline, Thomas Crane Library, and Hancock Cemetery.
