Quincy History Lives Here!
Founded in 1893, Quincy Historical Society is dedicated to the work of sharing Quincy’s remarkable history; from the Massachusett Tribe that are native to this land, to the Adams, Hancock, and Quincy families of the Revolutionary generation, to the industrial marvels achieved by Quincy’s granite and shipbuilding industries, to the iconic ice cream empire of Howard Johnson’s, and so much more.
Quincy’s Story is the American Story. We can’t wait to share it with you.
