President John and Mrs. Adams moved into the White House on this day in 1800.
It was actually still under construction and the Adams had to endure some of the inconveniences of an unfinished home.
The Adams moved back to Massachusetts after his defeat to Thomas Jefferson. They spent the rest of their lives there until Mr. Adams, as well as Mr. Jefferson, died on July 4, 1826.

John and Abigail Adams left us some great letters, a window to those early days of the Republic. Later, Adams and Jefferson reconciled their differences in a collection of amazing correspondence.
President John Adams left us an important message about living in what they called then the President’s House. He said this in a letter to Mrs. Adams:
“….he hoped “none but honest and wise men [shall] ever rule under this roof.””
Mr. Adams’ message sounds louder today than ever, especially in light of the Clintons and their disregard for the rule of law.
