 | John Alden's House in Duxbury, Massachusetts
"The colonists began to spread out from Plymouth and settle on the land they had been granted. At first the families would tend to their land during the summer and return to the Plymouth settlement during the winter where they could attend church. The original Alden house in Duxbury was probably begun during the summers and by 1631 the family was staying longer, perhaps the whole year....
"The Alden grant in Duxbury was accessible by water from the bay and up the river, so that the whole length of the farm had water transportation. The Green Harbor Path, running from Plymouth to Marshfield passed along the west end of the farm....
"The first house built and occupied by John and Priscilla was a long, narrow house with a field stone foundation and a root cellar under the west end. Archaeological excavations made in 1960 by Roland Wells Robbins revealed the cellar stones and that the house was about 10 1/2 feet in width and 38 feet in length (here the Aldens raised 10 children!). Its size would have been similar to a modern mobile home, although the Alden house would have had a loft or second floor. Evidence at the site of the old house proved that the old house had not burned, as many old stories claimed. It had definitely been moved or dismantled. The dimensions of the old house led Robbins to believe that it had been dismantled and moved up the hill to be incorporated as the kitchen, borning room, and buttrey of the existing Alden House, which are exactly the same dimensions (Pilgrim John Alden's Progress, 15).
"The present Alden house was believed to have been built in 1653, a date reputedly found carved in one of the beams or boards of the house. However, recent archaeological indicates the house may have been built sometime in the latter two decades of the 1600's. It is still believed that beams from the original house were used in the construction of the newer one. Further research is being undertaken by the Alden Kindred of America, Inc., which owns and maintains the house. The Alden house remained in the possession of members of the Jonathan Alden family until 1892 and was transferred to the Alden Kindred in 1907 (Alden Family in Alden House, 128)."
