Featured This Year at the Bradford & King Caesar Historic Houses:
- A small changing exhibition at the Bradford House entitled, “Coming to a Pilgrim Town” will feature souvenirs from Duxbury’s tourist eras. This exhibition compliments the 2020 special exhibition on display at the Nathaniel Winsor Jr. House (479 Washington Street), entitled “”Creating a Legacy: 400 years of Duxbury & the Pilgrims.”
- View the newly installed first floor bedchamber and see King Caesar’s Counting Rooms, now installed in the Potter Gallery. Caesar’s Counting Rooms were the heart of his business and an important addition to the historic house experience.
Please also visit our new exhibition on display at the Nathaniel Winsor Jr. House (479 Washington Street): “Creating a Legacy: 400 years of Duxbury & the Pilgrims.” On view from May 28 – September 19, a special exhibition in honor of 2020’s 400th anniversary commemorations in Plymouth. Since its founding as the second Pilgrim settlement, Duxbury’s residents have continuously invoked the town’s Pilgrim history, for a variety of reasons. From William Brewster’s Puritan spoon, to modern day souvenirs, this exhibition explores the discovery of items left behind, as well as those created to craft the legacy of Duxbury’s Pilgrim past. Open free to the public, Monday-Friday, 10 am – 3 pm.
