Adams House

Fodor's Review:

A tour of the restored Adams House includes an explanation of the tragedies and triumphs of two of the community's founding families (the Franklins and the Adamses) who lived here. The 1892 Queen Anne-style mansion was closed in the mid-1930s and sat empty for more than 50 years, preserving the original furniture and decor that you see today.
