QUINCY – The Dorothy Quincy Homestead will be open for outdoor public tours starting May 15.
Tours will run every 15 minutes from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The interior of the home will remain closed due to renovations. Tours will encompass the grounds and gardens. Visitors can expect to hear tales of the famous Quincy family and their storied property.
The homestead is at Butler Road and Hancock Street in Quincy.
The house, dating from 1686, was considered the greatest estate in Quincy during the 17th and 18th centuries. It was a meeting place for patriots such as Josiah Quincy, John Hancock and John Adams and the childhood home of Dorothy Quincy Hancock, the wife of John Hancock.
