loved this place. so informative. the lady who took us around was phenomenal. usually tours can be very boring but she kept me interested all the way through.
Very informative! Loved walking where Pilgrims had walked! Good tour! Must see for those visiting the area!
Truly enjoyed the private tour of this home and the pains taken by the workers to maintain the historical character of the home. My guide was very informative. As a new native to the town I am doing a little sightseeing of the town and this was the first of many visits.
Must allow time to walk through this timeless house and take in the history of one of the pilgrim, who almost didn't make it the new world. Not going to tell you the story...you've got to ask original desendents who conduct the tour of the house...hint-Gail.
Since this in our ancestor, the visit was a must for three sisters on a trip made to both honor or mother who did all the research as well as our ancestors who made the journey. The docent was very informative and most hospitable. Thanks for giving us much insight and appreciation.
First of all, if you are a Howland descendant, as I am, you HAVE to come to this house. When you enter the doorway, you are literally walking the footsteps of your forebears, the walls have heard the voices of your ancestors (in my case John and Elizabeth Howland were my 10x Great Grandparents). You get to see actual items and artifacts, the guides are wonderfully knowledgeable and the whole experience is marvellous. If you're into history, genealogy or just interested in the Pilgrims, this is a "must see" - and the fee is $5. A bargain for such a wonderful tour!
And probably the most interesting one we visited while in the Plymouth area. Very knowledgeable guide (whose grandchildren are related to the Howlands) - great exhibits, too.
Loved this place! We live in an old house, so I knew what a lot of the unusual items there were, but still learned much! The house itself is just wonderful!
I loved the idea that Jabez Howland's home is still here...I go to Plymouth too early...it does not open for visitors until next week..would have loved to see inside...maybe next visit.
I like visiting this house every time we visit Plymouth. The old windows, hearths, and 17th century items owned by the Howland family are neat but the knowledgeable staff are the best feature. They know so much. Definitely worth a visit.
