Lonely Planet review for Quincy Historical Society
While Quincy is famous as the birthplace of John Adams, it is less known that it is the birthplace of John Hancock. On the site of the Hancock house now stands the building of the former Adams Academy, also founded by the Adams fund. The gothic revival building houses the Quincy Historical Society. Exhibits address Native American history, economic development related to shipbuilding and granite production and other famous Quincy families.
