It is 37 miles southeast -of Boston and is reached by rail, and by Routes -north via the Old Colony Division of the N. Y., -N. H. & H. R. R., and by automobile over routes -No. 3 and No. 3A. It overlooks Cape Cod Bay and -a well protected harbor. Its year ’round population -is approximately 14,000. It has an area of 108 -square miles, the largest in the State.</p> -<p>In addition to its historical association and its -old records, among which one may browse at -pleasure, the town has a fine public school system, -public library, many churches, an excellent water -system, several banks and theatres, an adequate -fire and police department, a modernized hospital -and high quality of public service. There are fine -bathing beaches and recreational centers, hotels -and accommodation for tourists.</p> -<p>Fraternal organizations are numerous. The Old -Colony Club, organized 1769, the oldest social -<span class="pb" id="Page_6">6</span> -organization in America, is located on Court Street, -opposite the Court House. Other active societies -are the Plymouth Woman’s Club, the Plymouth -Antiquarian Society, the Cordage Men’s Club, the -Plymouth Country Club, the Girls’ Club, the Boys’ -Club, the New Century Club, and the Manomet -Village Club.</p> -<p>The Plymouth County Court House occupies a -commanding position facing Court Street with the -Registry of Deeds near at hand on North Russell -Street and easily accessible to visitors. A new -Federal Post Office Building stands at the historic -corner of Leyden and Main Streets. A commodious -armory on Court Street accommodates the -National Guard. At one time this building was the -headquarters of the Standish Guards, the local -militia company organized and chartered in 1818.</p> -<p>Opposite the armory is Plymouth’s Memorial -Building, dedicated in 1926 to the men of Plymouth -who served in all the wars in which the country -has been engaged. It has a large hall with a seating -capacity of 2000 and was built at a cost of -$300,000. This building is a few steps north of -Pilgrim Hall, that sacred depository of Pilgrimiana, -a mecca for modern day Pilgrims, visited -every year by thousands from the world over.</p> -<p>The town has diversified industries. Its mills -and factories are devoted principally to the production -<span class="pb" id="Page_7">7</span> -of high grade woolens, cordage, tacks and -rivets, and zinc products.</p> -<div class="img" id="fig4"> -<img src="images/p04.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="439" /> -<p class="pcap">AN ISLAND IN ONE OF PLYMOUTH’S MANY PONDS</p> -</div> -<p>Over 300 ponds of sparkling clear water lie within -the town’s boundaries, and these together with -its woodlands offer almost unlimited facilities for -hunting and fishing, while salt water fishing is -equally available.</p> -<p>Yes, Plymouth has much to offer as a place for -permanent residence and as a summer resort.</p> -<p>The door is open and the word is <i>Welcome</i>.</p> -<p>Approaching Plymouth from the north and passing -through Kingston, it is both convenient and -of interest to visit the Major John Bradford House. -This house stands on a knoll on Landing Road -overlooking Jones River and the marshes. It was -built in 1674 by Major John Bradford, son of Major -<span class="pb" id="Page_8">8</span> -William Bradford, Deputy Governor and Grandson -of Governor William Bradford.</p> -<p><i>Legend:</i></p> -<p>During the King Philip War this house was partially -burned while Major Bradford was moving -his family to a place of safety. Upon his return -Indians were seen surrounding the house, one of -whom the Major shot while he was in the act of -warning his comrades of the approach of the -whites. This Indian, while wounded, crawled behind -a fallen tree and some years later told Major -Bradford of the circumstances of his escape, showing -at the same time the bullet wound in his side -received at the time.</p> -<p>Another fact of interest is that this house gave -shelter for something like twenty-five years to the -now famous “History of Plimouth Plantation,” -sometimes spoken of as the “Bradford History” -written by Governor Bradford and preserved in -the State House in Boston.</p> -<p>Entering Plymouth through Court Street and -passing the plant of the Plymouth Cordage Company, -one comes to another old house. This house -is known as the William Crowe House. It is located -on the east side of the highway and was probably -built in 1664 as in that year William Crowe married -Hannah, daughter of the first Josiah Winslow. -A deed dated 1665 from Francis Billington to -<span class="pb" id="Page_9">9</span> -William Crowe refers to the estate “on which Mr. -Crowe now lives.” This undoubtedly establishes -the house as one of the very oldest of Plymouth’s -old houses.</p> -<p>Mr. Crowe’s widow married John Sturtevant. -Her daughter Hannah Sturtevant married Josiah -Cotton, a grandson of Rev. John Cotton. In 1709 -Mr. Cotton became the owner, and in 1723 built -the two-story addition.</p> -<p>Proceeding south through Court Street and turning -west at Allerton or Cushman Street brings one -to the National Monument of the Forefathers.</p> -<p>... This monument, towering high in its massive -splendor, occupies a commanding position -overlooking the town and harbor, with Duxbury, -Clark’s Island, the Saquish and the Gurnet in the -background.</p> -<p>The central figure is <i>Faith</i>, which stands on the -main pedestal, one foot resting on a replica of -Plymouth Rock. In the left hand is a Bible, while -the right hand points heavenward. The whole -attitude is symbolic of faith in a divine power, as -the smaller statues below are representative of the -principles enunciated by the Pilgrims themselves.</p> -<p>The plan of the base is octagonal. There are four -protruding wings, on each of which is a figure -seated. One representing Morality holding the -decalogue in the left hand and the scroll of Revelation -<span class="pb" id="Page_10">10</span> -in the right. On the one side is a Prophet and -on the other the Evangelists.</p> -<p>On the next pedestal is the figure representing -Law with Justice on one side and Mercy on the -other, symbolizing justice tempered with mercy. -Education has on the one hand the wisdom of -maturity and on the other Youth following experience. -The fourth figure represents Freedom, a consequence -of which is peace, represented on the -one hand, while on the other is represented the -overthrow of tyranny.</p> -<p>The main pedestal has four polished faces, on -two of which are inscribed the names of the Mayflower -Pilgrims, while another bears the inscription -“National Monument to the Forefathers. -Erected by a grateful people in remembrance of -their labors, sacrifices and sufferings for the cause -of civil and religious liberty.” There is one panel -left for future use.</p> -<h3 id="c3">INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE MONUMENT</h3> -<dl class="undent"><dt>Largest granite statue in the world.</dt> -<dt>Designed by Hammatt Billings.</dt> -<dt>Built of Maine granite.</dt> -<dt>Cost $150,000.</dt> -<dt>Statue of Faith cost $31,300; was given by late Gov.

This building stands on the -lot formerly occupied by the colonial residence -built in 1809 by Major William Hammett and later -and for many years occupied by Mr. Thomas Hedge -and family. When the erection of the Memorial -Building was decided upon, this house was moved -back and now faces Water Street and the harbor. -It is reminiscent of the early 19th century and is -maintained and kept open to visitors during the -summer by the Plymouth Antiquarian Society.</p> -<h3 id="c15">WATSON’S HILL</h3> -<p>Market Street, which parallels Main Street -Extension, runs from Town Square southward, -converging with Sandwich and Pleasant Streets at -its base.

Here -may be seen two of the oldest houses in Plymouth, -viz.: the Richard Sparrow House on the left of the -street and a short distance from Market Street and -the Leach House a few steps beyond at the Corner -of Spring Street, once known as Spring Lane. This -house was built by George Bonum in 1679.</p> -<p>The Sparrow House is presumed to have been -built by Richard Sparrow in 1640. If so, it is the -oldest house in Plymouth. Inside it is distinctive -of the early 17th century era with its great fireplace -and its brick oven.</p> -<p class="revint"><span class="sc">Note:</span> Spring Street has been referred to as Spring Lane -and Baptist Hill, the latter designation derived from -the fact that a Baptist chapel occupied a lot for many -years on the west side a few steps from Summer Street.</p> -<div class="pb" id="Page_58">58</div> -<p>This house is now used as craftsman’s shop by -the Plymouth Potters, and is open to visitors.</p> -<p>Plymouth Pottery is unique in that it is made -up of local red-firing clay by former pupils of a -State Vocational Project—now organized into a -co-operative guild.</p> -<p>Many pieces have an early American flavor and -the hand-ground glazes give interesting and -unusual effects.

It leads to the wooded area of the -town past Oak Grove and Pine Hills Cemeteries -to Morton Park, a woodland sanctuary of nearly -340 acres situated about a mile from the town’s -center. This land was given to the town by a -group of Plymouth citizens in 1889, headed by Mr. -Nathaniel Morton, who was himself a generous -contributor.</p> -<p>The Park includes two lakes of sparkling fresh -water, Little Pond which covers approximately -40 acres and where accommodations are provided -for picnics and bathing, and Billington Sea, -covering an area of over three hundred acres.</p> -<div class="pb" id="Page_59">59</div> -<div class="img" id="fig29"> -<img src="images/p25.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="604" /> -<p class="pcap">THE HOWLAND HOUSE—Built in 1666—Restored 1941 -<br />The only house in Plymouth where Pilgrims once lived</p> -</div> -<div class="pb" id="Page_60">60</div> -<h3 id="c17">THE TRAINING GREEN</h3> -<p>Lying just below Watson’s Hill between Pleasant -Street on the west and Sandwich Street on the -east, is an open square known as Training Green, -from the fact that in the earlier days companies of -militia were trained there in the manual of arms. -In the center stands the Soldiers’ Monument, -erected in 1869 to the memory of Plymouth men -who served in the army and navy and who gave -their lives during the Civil War.

Near -this point on the west side of Sandwich Street, -near the head of Water Street, is the Howland -House, built in 1666.

A half mile beyond, near -Hotel Pilgrim, is the 18-hole golf course of the -Plymouth Country Club, one of the finest in the -country.</p> -<p>Here the roads diverge again. The road to the -left follows the shore, although at points high -above the water, while the road to the right runs -directly over the Pine Hills.</p> -<p>These hills were included in the early division -of land designated as the “Great Lots” in 1711-12, -and later transferred by deed at various times and -to various ownerships. At points they reach an -altitude of 400 feet above sea level. The roads -running nearly parallel, meet at the point three -miles south where the Manomet church stands at -the southeast corner of the intersection.</p> -<p>One-half mile to the east is White Horse Beach -which, during the past few years, has developed -into a large summer colony. The beach between -White Horse and Manomet Point affords excellent -<span class="pb" id="Page_64">64</span> -bathing, and boats with tackle for sea fishing are -readily obtainable.</p> -<p>Nearby to the south is Hotel Mayflower, and -at the “Point” below, the Manomet Coast Guard -Station. Manomet Village lies to the west, and on -the bluff overlooking the bay is Hotel Idlewild -(formerly the Barstow House).</p> -<p>Southward stretch wide acres of fields and -meadows, hills and vales dotted here and there by -farms and gardens, a variation of landscape that -is typical of New England.

This was brought about -through the good offices of Samoset and Squanto, -two friendly Indians, the former having learned -some English from contact with fishermen along -the coast of Maine whence he had come, while the -latter had been taken with a number of others by -a Captain Hunt who had “got them under cover of -trucking with them and carried them away and -sold them as slaves.” He had made his escape -and returned to his home with the Nausets on -Cape Cod.</p> -<p>This treaty was held inviolate during the life of -Massasoit and thereafter until the outbreak of the -King Philip War in 1675. Precautionary measures -were taken however to protect the settlement, and -in 1622 a fort was erected on Burial Hill. This -was supplemented by a watch tower in 1643. -During the King Philip War a larger fort was -erected on the same site. Fortunately the Plymouth -colony escaped Indian attack although in 1676 -<span class="pb" id="Page_73">73</span> -a small community to the south near Eel River -was attacked and eleven settlers killed.</p> -<p>It is hard to realize in these days of material -comforts, not to speak of luxuries, the hardships -of our forebears. It was a case of work for survival. -And there must have been work for by December, -1621, “seven dwelling houses and four for the use -of the plantation” had been erected. The harvest -of 1621 had been successful and a season of -Thanksgiving had been observed, wherein some -of the friendly Indians had participated, this being -the origin of our present Thanksgiving Day.</p> -<p>Nevertheless their existence was fraught with -uncertainties. Their stocks of provisions were soon -depleted and the problem of food supply became -one of increasing concern. The very life of the -colony depended upon the success of their crops. -Corn had become increasingly valuable, not only -as an article of food but as a medium of exchange, -the colonists having little or no money.</p> -<p>Up to 1623 they worked together on company -land, sharing the fruits of their combined labor. -This year owing to the shortage of crops “they -begane to think how they might raise as much -corne as they could and abtaine a better crope than -they had done that they might not still thus -languish in miserie.”</p> -<div class="pb" id="Page_74">74</div> -<h3 id="c23">LAND DIVIDED</h3> -<p>And so “to every family was assigned a parcell -of land according to the proportion of their number -for that end (but made no provision for inheritance) -and ranged all boys & youths under some -family. This had very good success for it made all -hands industrious, so as much more corne was -planted then other waise would have bene by any -means the Governor or any other could use.”</p> -<p>This was followed the next season by a division -of land wherein “to every person was given only -one acre, to them and theirs, as near the towne as -might be, and they had no more till the seven years -were expired.”</p> -<p class="revint"><span class="sc">Note:</span> This was in accordance, at least in spirit, with -the imposed provisions of their contract with the -English company of Merchant Adventurers who had -financed their expedition.</p> -<p>A further division of land, following a division -of livestock, was made in 1627, wherein “every -person or share should have 20 acres of land -divided unto them, besides the single acres they -had already.” (sic).</p> -<p><span class="lr">—Quotations from Bradford’s History of Plymouth Plantation</span></p> -<h3 id="c24">THEY CARRY ON</h3> -<p>Fortified by faith and grim determination the -colonists carried on in the face of great adversity, -yet getting more and more firmly established.</p> -<div class="pb" id="Page_75">75</div> -<p>In 1636, owing to the growth of the original -colony or plantation and the establishment of -separate settlements at Scituate and Duxbury, the -purely democratic rule which had obtained under -the Mayflower Compact, wherein matters pertaining -to the interests of the colony were settled -in general assembly, was superseded by a law -passed providing for government by deputies -representing the several towns.</p> -<p>The first legislative body met in 1639 and brought -together representatives from the outlying towns -of Sandwich, Barnstable, Yarmouth, Taunton, -Scituate, Duxbury and Plymouth.</p> -<p>In 1643, for mutual interests and against the -menace of Indian attack, a confederation was -formed between the Plymouth and Massachusetts -colonies in combination with Connecticut and New -Haven as separate units, with authority vested in -commissioners.</p> -<p>This remained in force until 1672 when a new -compact was made upon the union of Connecticut -and New Haven, which gave less authority to the -commissioners.</p> -<p>In 1686 Sir Edmund Andros was sent by King -James to rule over the Dominion of New England, -to which in 1688 New York and New Jersey were -added, the seat of government remaining in -Boston.</p> -<p>Conditions under Andros with his autocratic -assumptions and restrictions were not pleasant. -<span class="pb" id="Page_76">76</span> -It is interesting to note in this connection that -Clark’s Island which had for some time been used -for the support of the poor, was turned over by -Andros to one of his followers who had been -attracted by its natural beauties.</p> -<p>The ascension of William III to the throne of -England in 1689 had much to do with shaping the -destinies of the colonists. The regime of Andros -continued until word was received that the landing -of William, Prince of Orange, in England threatened -the overthrow of the Stuart dynasty when -the citizens of Boston revolted, took possession of -a British ship in the harbor and overthrew the -crown’s despotic representative. Plymouth again -acquired Clark’s Island and later the proclamation -of William and Mary established once more the -freedom the colonists had previously enjoyed.</p> -<p>In 1692 came the union of the Massachusetts Bay -and Plymouth colonies.
