August 23, 2005: John Quincy Adams' Book Collection Needs Help
"These New England natural and historic treasures need attention:
The John Adams site in Quincy, with 11 historic buildings dating to 1720 and 14,000 historic volumes, including the book collection of John Quincy Adams. Federal funding to maintain the park and preserve its historic artifacts dropped from $507,000 in 2002 to $494,000 in 2004, even as the visitors increased by 65,426 in those two years, according to National Park Service figures."
