  1. The Adams estate was called PEACEFIELD.  John Adams wrote that he selected the name "in commemoration of the peace which I assisted in making in 1783, of the thirteen years peace and neutrality which I have contributed to preserve, and of the constant peace and tranquility which I have enjoyed in this residence.”

    In 1787, John and Abigail Adams purchased Peacefield, then an estate of 40 acres of orchards and farmland. They enlarged the manor house into a rambling farmhouse with wing additions surrounded by a formal garden.  Adams described the estate as "the farm of a patriot."


  2. was it Merrymount?
