John Adams spent much of the time during the Revolutionary War and after in Europe. He helped secure the agreements with France to stay out of the war and to settle the war with England. He was the vice president to George Washington and became our second president.
He was married to Abigail. Abigail was an educated woman--uncommon for that time. Her father was a minister and apparently in favor of education for women. She was a true partner with her husband and they corresponded regularly because she was usually maintaining the home place.
Peace Field is the family mansion that was lived in by the family until the 1920s. It is now maintained by the National Park Service. It is filled with furniture and belongings of the family.
