Visit two of America's national treasures -- the John F. Kennedy Library (perhaps the nation's most popular presidential library) and Peacefield, home and library of John Adams and John Quincy Adams.
At the Kennedy Library & Museum, relax in the comfort of the theater for a 17-minute introductory film narrated in part by JFK. Incorporating historic television footage and cherished family home movies, this film provides the background, family and political accomplishments of the Camelot legend. You will have an opportunity to independently explore the museum.
Stand in a recreation of the Oval Office, experience the drama of President Kennedy's historic address to the nation on Civil Rights and capture the inspirational spirit of the space program before you leave the facility.
Continue to the nearby town of Quincy, birthplace of father and son presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams. Visit the old house lovingly referred to by John Adams as Peacefield. This elegant plantation residence was home to four generations of the Adams family. First occupied by John Adams in 1788, it once served as the summer White House and is filled with original furniture and paintings treasured by him. A US Park Service Ranger guide will provide a fascinating guided tour of the two floors of this home and family library and offer a historical perspective of the vast accomplishments of these two great men.
