This was the church organization of the Pilgrims. The first church on this site was erected in 1683. The present church is the fifth to be built on this site and was completed and dedicated on Forefather’s Day 1899. On your right when facing the First Parish Church is The Church of the Pilgrimage This is the Congregational Church and was the result of a division over doctrinal matters in 1801. The present church was built in 1840. Proceed up the stone steps at the right of the First Parish Church and you will come to Burial Hill Here you will find all the interesting graves marked plainly with yellow signs—Governor Bradford, Edward Gray, Thomas Clark, John Howland, John Cotton and others. As we stand here amid these historic and humble hero dead, we read these significant words on the obelisk in memory of Governor William Bradford: “Do not basely relinquish what the Fathers with difficulty attained.” You will have no trouble locating the site of the first fort where five cannons were placed after great difficulty in 1621. Also, the grave of General James Warren, soldier, patriot and scholar. Leaving the graveyard, retrace your steps down Leyden Street to Main Street. Turn left and then right when you come to Middle Street This street was once known as King. Little remains of Colonial days except the street to remind us of old Plymouth. Turn left at Carver on to North Street You will find the Edward Winslow House built in 1754. He was very loyal to the Crown during the Revolution and so the house was confiscated. Going back to your car, get in and go toward the Cape on Water Street and soon after you pass Leyden Street, you come to Town Brook Here was the drinking water of the Pilgrims. In days of yore, it was full of alewives, which gave the Puritans fish at their very door. Even today, trout lurk in many a dark corner of the brook. In 1909 the town purchased the land here and established the beautiful Brewster Gardens. Continue on Water Street to Sandwich Street. Almost in front of you is John Howland House It was built in 1666 and is called the house of the last Mayflower Pilgrims in Plymouth. It was restored and put in complete repair by the Howland descendants in 1909. You may drive in and visit, admission 25c. Open 10 a. m. to 5 p. m. A little way towards the Cape and you come to Winter Street. Turn left and find The Old Harlow House
