John and Priscilla Alden Family Sites
John and Priscilla Alden Family Sites, 17th century colonial house in Duxbury, Massachusetts, United States
The property contains two structures: the original archaeological site with granite foundation and a subsequent residence built around 1700 on Alden Street.
The land was granted to Mayflower passengers John and Priscilla Alden in 1627, establishing one of the first permanent European settlements in Massachusetts.
The residence serves as a museum displaying colonial furniture, artifacts, and documents that illustrate daily life in early American settlements.
Visitors can participate in guided tours from May through October, exploring both the house museum and the archaeological remains of the original foundation.
The property maintains continuous ownership by descendants of the Alden family since 1627, preserving direct connections to the Mayflower passengers.
