About Adams

Tucked about 13 miles southeast of Quincy in Burton Township, Adams is a tiny, quiet rural community of around 75 residents. The area's history stretches back to the mid-1820s, when War of 1812 veteran Elias Adams arrived as one of the county’s earliest pioneers. Today, it offers a peaceful spot for those looking for wide-open space and a slower pace of life, all while keeping the jobs, shopping, and dining in nearby Quincy just a short drive away.
