DESCRIPTIVE. 
 
 n^HE historic interest attaching to the oldest town in New England and the landing place 
 1 of the Pilgrims leads thousands of people annually to visit Plymouth. The picturesque 
 scenery, beautiful walks and drives about its woods, ponds and shores, with the facilities 
 for boating and fishing, make it one of the most attractive places on the coast for summer 
 tourists. 
 
 Plymouth Rock, famous throughout the world as the stepping stone upon which the Pil- 
 grims landed December 21st, 1620, still occupies the same position as when the Pilgrim 
 shallop first grazed its side. It has been raised somewhat to prevent being hidden by the 
 filling in of wharves and is now covered by an artistic canopy of granite. Just above the 
 Rock is Cole's Hill where, during the first winter, were buried one half the number who 
 landed from the Mayflower. 
 
 Leyden Street, the first street laid out, originally extended from the water to the top of 
 Burial Hill. On the north side stood the Governor's house, the site of which is now occupied 
 by the Odd Fellows' building. On the south side, next the Brook, were the store houses and 
 thatched roofs of the first dwelling houses. At the head of the street, on the brow of Buiial 
 Hill, was the fort erected as a defence against the Indians and also used as a place of public 
 worship. The upper portion of this street is now called Town Square. 
 
 Above the Square is Burial Hill where repose the ashes of those wlio survived the first 
 winter. Marble tablets mark the locations of the Old Fort and Watch-Tower, while numerous 
 monuments and stones point out resting places of Pilgrims and their descendants. From the
