Hedge House Museum

Tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable! Also, very affordable! We had a private tour during COVID (tickets end up being $6/adult). Unfortunately you can't take pictures inside but still a great experience! You walk in to an octagonal foyer which was a sign of wealth - who knew?! Gardens outside were cute. There was also a bell 🔔 donated to the home. Very close to the dock and there is free parking on the side of the house for museum guests.

Had a tour of this House and it was like time traveling. They do a great job at preserving the history. All we need now in this town is an Indian Society to tell their stories.

Knowledgeable staff. There are a few parking spots next to the house if you need. The only issue I had was they used some of the rooms as office. No photography inside the house allowed.

I brought a special needs adult under my care to do this tour of Hedge House. I wish I remember the woman's name who gave us the tour (6/15/19) because she was wonderful. I enjoyed it thoroughly and being a full time Plymouthian, am ashamed it's the first time I have been inside the beautiful Hedge House! I have recommended it to others already.

Charming beautifully preserved home. They have great programming and are so welcoming. (Price rating I gave might be wrong. I don’t remember the cost).

Such a unique history and story! They also have free concerts, beer fests, and other events on their lawn.

Art market 3rd and 4th Saturday was fun and a lot of great choices

Unique architecture. Built in 1809. On the Plymouth waterfront.

The Hedge House is a historical landmark @ 126 Water St., next to the Plymouth Visitors Center. It was originally built on Court St. by sea captain William Hammatt in 1809. It was subsequently purchased in 1830 by Thomas Hedge, one of Plymouth's early industrialists & entrepreneurs. His family lived there until 1918 when the last family member died. The home was almost demolished to make way for Memorial Hall, but was saved by the Plymouth Antiquarian Society, which is dedicated to preserving historic houses and landmarks, & moved to its current location. From 2002-2007 the Hedge House underwent an extensive restoration & was brought back to its original pristine condition. It is a fine example of Federal period architecture, & the original Carriage House still stands. Interior rooms, some of which are octagonal, display 19th century American furnishings, paintings, textiles, & toys. The Rose T. Briggs Memorial Garden fills the side & back yards with beautiful perennials in full bloom. The museum is open June - August, Wednesday - Sunday, 2pm to 6pm. The vast front lawn is the last piece of open green space on the Plymouth Waterfront. The Plymouth Antiquarian Society envisions a community venue that will be in place by 2020, in time for the 400th Anniversary of the Pilgrims' Landing on Plymouth Rock. An effort is underway to raise the necessary funds.
