Adams Academy Sesquincentennial
“Adams Academy, the architectural gem at the corner of Adams and Hancock Streets, turns 150 years old in 2022. With recent renovations completed, Quincy boasts one of the finest 19th century buildings in the country. In addition to the sesquicentennial of the Academy, we are celebrating the 200th anniversary of John Adams’ donation of the land “for a Greek and Latin School or Academy.” To round out the triple play of anniversaries, the Adams Academy became the home of Quincy Historical Society in 1972, making this our 50th anniversary of occupancy.”
