Geocache Description:

The above coordinates bring you to a quick two stage puzzle cache that is located at a historical site in Weymouth. Parking is street side in front of the historical home. Be careful when exiting the car. Alternative parking is available at the 7-11 parking lot just down the street.

Abigail Smith Adams the wife of John Adams, 2nd President, and mother of John Quincy Adams, 6th President, was born at this site. Intelligent and broadminded, Abigail Smith Adams was often ahead of her time with many of her ideas. She opposed slavery, believed in equal education for boys and girls, and practiced what she learned as a child - the duty of the fortunate is to help those who are less fortunate.

During the first few years of elementary school, I was fascinated that a soon to be President rode his horse from Quincy to what would become my neighborhood to visit his future wife.

The Abigail Adams Historical Society maintains the home and holds events which are a nice take. The see the schedule and learn more about Abigail Adams see: Abigail Adams Historical Society

The Final stage is at N42 13.XXX W070 56.YYY in a seldom used village green near by the Abigail Adams home.

The information need can be found on a white sign at the historical site.
XXX = The year Abigail Smith Adams was born minus 885.
YYY = The year the white sign was erected minus 1326.

Container is a 2 cup Lock-its with some trinkets and a log book. Take care in crossing streets! BYOP
