Harlow Old Fort House
Harlow Old Fort House, Colonial fort house in Plymouth, Massachusetts.
The Harlow Old Fort House stands as a two-story wooden residence with traditional Colonial-era architecture and period-specific construction materials at 119 Sandwich Street.
Built in 1677 by Sergeant William Harlow, the structure incorporates timbers from the original Pilgrim fort at Burial Hill, which stood from 1621 to 1622.
The Plymouth Antiquarian Society maintains the property as a museum that demonstrates domestic life patterns and architectural methods of early Massachusetts settlements.
Visitors can access guided tours of the house through the Plymouth Antiquarian Society, with special programs scheduled during summer months.
The building materials include authentic wooden beams from Plymouth Colony's first defensive structure, marking a direct connection to the earliest European settlement period.
