A ROUND THE SOUTH SHOR E
Plymouth
Plymouth is known as America’s hometown, since it was
the first colony settled by the Pilgrims in 1620 after the
Mayflower voyage. Many sites around town still celebrate
this unique heritage such as Plymouth Rock, Plimoth
Plantation, the Mayflower II, and more. Since the town is
steeped in history, its homes reflect that. Homeowners will
find a variety of options to choose from, such as colonialera homes and Federal-style as well as Gothic Revival and
Colonial Revival.
Of course, there’s more to this 134-square-mile town than
history. Over 60,000 people call Plymouth home. Villages
include Cedarville, Chiltonville, Ellisville, Halfway Pond,
Long Pond, Manomet, Plymouth Beach, Priscilla Beach,
South Pond, Vallerville, West Plymouth, West Wind Shores,
and White Horse Beach. Plymouth is not a sleepy town,
Inside Myles Standish State Park is College Pond, a
53-acre natural kettlehole pond and a favorite place
for locals to swim and picnic.
