The Alden House (1910)
Probably one of the greatest love stories ever told was that of John Alden and Priscilla Mullins, both Pilgrims who crossed over on the Mayflower and landed in Plymouth, MA in 1620. Somewhere around 1672, the Aldens built the home pictured above in the town of Duxbury. While it was not their original house which they constructed in Plymouth shortly after arriving on the Mayflower, it is the only one of their homes still standing. The house has remained in the Alden family and today is maintained by the Alden House Historic Site, and is a National Landmark.
