The Adams Memorial Foundation - Section 1 Image

A beacon of civic education and inspiration for our Democratic Republic

The Adams Memorial Foundation is dedicated to commemorating the core values embodied by John Adams, the second U.S. president, and his family. The foundation’s goal is to build a memorial in our nation’s capital to the Adams family, whose members included John Adams, Abigail Adams, and John Quincy Adams, the nation’s sixth president. The Adamses demonstrated to the world that ideas, with hard work and determination, can change an entire nation for the better. The family members exemplified character, the power of ideas, and a commitment to public service. Now is the time to reignite their American spirit and foster hope for our future by honoring them.
