William Harlow House in Plymouth, Massachusetts.
The William Harlow House in Plymouth, Massachusetts, is one of several extant 17th-century structures in the city.
This house was built by Sergeant William Harlow in 1677 using timbers from the Pilgrims‘ original fort on Burial Hill, built in 1621-1622. Harlow received permission to use the timbers after the fort was torn down at the end of King Philip’s War in 1677. The Harlow family owned the house for nearly 250 years until the Plymouth Antiquarian Society acquired the building. The society then restored the building, which was opened to the public in 1921.
The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. It is located at 119 Sandwich Street in Plymouth, Massachusetts, and is open to the public from May 30 to September 30. It features seventeenth-century re-enactors.
