One of the many beautiful parkways for which Boston is noted. As you ride along you come to Moraine Street, on the corner of which is “The House of the Shamrock” affectionate name for the home of the Honorable James Michael Curley, three times mayor of Boston and later governor of Massachusetts. His life has been one of romance and reads like a page from Alger—a poor boy, who through his own efforts became governor of the Commonwealth. We continue on Route 3 to the junction of Route 37 and turn right on to Granite Avenue, soon crossing the Neponset River It is a salt water river which rises and falls with the tides. A little further along on your left is The Wollaston Golf Club Considered one of Boston’s finest clubs although it offers little in scenic beauty. The course is well laid out and the hazards good. [Illustration: ADAMS MANSION] Follow Granite Avenue to East Milton. Turn left at Route 135. This is Adams Street. This street received its name from the two Presidents. Follow straight on this street until you come to The Adams Mansion _Both_ John Adams and John Quincy Adams made this old mansion their home during the later years of their lives. John Adams celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of Independence Day on July 4, 1826 in this old house. Open 9 a. m. to 4 p. m., admission 25c. Leaving this charming old place, continue on Adams Street to Hancock Street which you follow to the First Parish Church It was established in 1689. Both John Adams and John Quincy Adams are buried in this church. In order to go down to the crypt, it is necessary to get in touch with the janitor or sexton who is always willing to accommodate those desirous of visiting the final resting place of these two early Presidents. Leaving the Church, follow Hancock Street to School Street and turn right. Follow the street car tracks along School Street, turning left at Franklin and continue to the John Adams House _Here_ on October 19, 1735, John Adams, the second President of the United States, was born. It is a most interesting house, having much of the old furniture, and is kept in good condition. Next door is the John Quincy Adams House Here on July 11, 1767, the sixth President of the United States was born. It is filled with antiques and evokes stirring memories. Historians are in both houses to answer questions. Both houses are open every day from 10 a. m. to 5 p. m. Admission 25c to each house. [Illustration: JOHN QUINCY ADAMS HOUSE] After you have visited these two historic houses, turn the car around and retrace your journey over Franklin to School Street, turning right and continue to Quincy Avenue where you again turn right and follow to Route 3.
