The only house in Plymouth where Pilgrims actually lived! John Howland and his wife, Elizabeth Tilley Howland, spent winters here with their son Jabez and his family.
After John's death at age 80 and the fire that destroyed their Rocky Nook farm, Elizabeth lived here until Jabez sold the house. It was a private residence until 1912 when it was purchased for a museum. In the 1940's, extensive work was done to bring the house back to its original appearance.
Today the museum houses fine, period furniture as well as artifacts from archaeological digs at their Rocky Nook home in present day Kingston. See authentic 17th-century fine furniture as well as artifacts plus letters and documents from famous descendants Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Winston Churchill.
