Discover Quincy

Discover Quincy is the visitor promotion organization for Quincy, the city known as the City of Presidents because it was home to John Adams and John Quincy Adams. It points visitors toward the presidential sites that define the city, where they can tour the two presidents’ birthplaces, the family home that served as a summer White House and the place where both are laid to rest. Quincy sits only minutes from downtown Boston.

Beyond history, the organization promotes Quincy’s 27 miles of coastline, hiking in the Blue Hills Reservation and a diverse dining scene. The presidential homes are preserved as Adams National Historical Park, run by the National Park Service, and both presidents are entombed with their wives at United First Parish Church in Quincy Center. The city is served by the MBTA Red Line, which makes it an easy day trip from Boston.
