October 30, 1735, marked a historic day in U.S. history: the birth of our second president, John Adams, in this humble abode on a six-acre plot in rural Quincy. Adams lived in the two-and-a-half story wooden saltbox home with chocolate-colored clapboard siding until he tied the knot with Abigail Smith in 1764. He and his bride moved into the house right next door, where eventually John Quincy Adams, our nation's sixth president, was born.
