John and Priscilla Alden Family Sites

By 1629, John Alden, Sr. and his family had moved to Duxbury, Massachusetts where they built their first family home, only 38 feet x 10 feet big, in which he would raise a family of 10 children. He would build a much larger home in 1653, where much of the business of Plymouth Colony was transacted as he served as court clerk. That house underwent several modifications in the 18th and 20th centuries. Today, 1653 Alden House, which stands on Alden Street, is operated as a Alden family history museum by Alden Kindred Society.
