Faneuil Hall/Quincy Market - John Adams period street scenes

Faneuil Hall and the adjacent Quincy Market area were used as filming locations for the HBO miniseries John Adams to depict colonial public life. Production staged market and crowd scenes in the Faneuil Hall Marketplace area to recreate late-18th-century Boston streetscapes. The historic marketplace's buildings and open spaces have made it a frequent site for on-location filming.
