    2. BA Young
    3. Hi, There are many places in Plymouth to visit. The Pilgrim Museum The Mayflower Society The replica of the Mayflower Plimouth Plantation Leyden St with its old houses also the old homes along Town Brook The statue of the Pilgrim Maiden The Forefather's Monument Actually, there are so many places to go and see, you should get a brochure . You should visit Duxbury, which is just north of Plymouth (with Kingston inbetween). There you will find: The home of John Alden, the cemetery where he and other early settlers are buried The Myles Standish Monument which you will be able to see as you look across Duxbury Bay from Plymouth The site of Myles Standish's home, which is also on Standish Shore where Captain's Hill with the monument is. By the way - you will be able to say you saw (or climbed) to the top of the tallest monument in the world - Myles above the sea!:} There is also the site of Ford's store which was the first department store The site of the first school to have student government. The home of Ezra Weston (King Caesar - the ship builder) and across from the house, the site of the "rope walk". The Duxbury Rural and Historical Society which you would pass going to the Weston house which also belongs to them. You might wish to go to Marchfield, the town just north of Duxbury where you would find the Daniel Webster house. In Kingston, there is the Bradford House. You will also be a short distance from Cape Cod which has its share of historical and other points of interest. Provincetown is at the tip with the Pilgrim Monument - the harbor was the first stop of the Mayflower. There are many points of interst and again, getting brochures would help a great deal as your particular interests are unknown. Have a wonderful trip!! Barbara
