You may not have time to see all of the sights while in Plymouth, but here is a list of the pilgrim hot spots to help you plan ahead:

Howland House
Come "home" to Howland House, once owed by John and Elizabeth’s son Jabez and most certainly slept in by our illustrious pilgrim ancestors. Take a tour with our hostesses and see many 17th-18th century artifacts. Located at 33 Sandwich Street.

Howland Historic Sidewalk Marker
Dedicated in September 1978, and reads: "On This Lot Stood the First House of the Mayflower Pilgrim John Howland, The Pilgrim John Howland Society, 1978." Clinton W. Sellew did the research and was responsible for this very important marker. It is located at 16 Leyden Street, Plymouth.

Rocky Nook
This was the home of John and Elizabeth from 1638-1672/3 when John dies. They bought the property/house from John Jenny. This is the sight of all the archaeological digs you have been reading about the past few years. It is located in Kingston, just north of Plymouth. Take route 3A north to Howland Street (not a noticeable sign) and turn right. Go a few miles. There will be a beauty shop on your right. Right after that, pull off the road along site of the boulders. You cannot see our large granite monument from the street, so you will have to walk a very short distance up the hill in the woods. Joseph Howland's farm site is located across the road and has a memorial boulder.

Burial Hill
Lovely view of the water. Lots of old monuments. Enter via the stone steps near First Church. Located between So. Russell St. and Summer St. (Near the John Carver Inn)

Pilgrim Hall Museum
The oldest public museum in continuous use in America. Come and see items that actually came over on the Mayflower such as Myles Standish’s sword, John Alden’s Bible, Winslow’s portrait—the only known portrait of a Mayflower passenger and much more. There is a “treasure hunt” map for the children that is fun and educational. Located at 75 Court St. (Rte 3A). 508-746-1620 www.pilgrimhall.org

Plimoth Plantation
A recreated 1627 village complete with pilgrims, Indians, crafts, and much more sure to please. Located off of Route 3A about 2-1/2 miles south of Plymouth. www.plimoth.org

Mayflower II
Replica of our beloved little ship. Go on her and see how our ancestors lived and survived on the voyage. Located neat Water Street…in the water.

Plymouth Rock
A icon of pilgrim life, under a classical canopy on Water Street.

Mayflower Society Museum
Elegant home with formal gardens, a flying staircase, and antique furniture. Owned by the General Society of Mayflower Descendants. Located at 4 Winslow Street.

Coles Hill and the Sarcophagus
Burial area of those who died the first winter. The Sarcophagus contains the bones of the first settlers that were washed out of the hillside by rainstorms before streets were paved. Located across from the Plymouth Rock canopy.
