Plymouth - Howland House
The son of Mayflower passenger John Howland, Jabez, owned this house from 1670 to 1680. The Jabez Howland House is the only surviving house known to be occupied by a Mayflower passenger. The two-story timber framed house highlights the changes in colonial architecture, which can be observed in the house's several additions.
The Jabez Howland House was a private residence until it was purchased in 1912 to serve as a museum.
