John Alden House is a historic house museum that was purportedly home to Pilgrim John Alden. It is located at 105 Alden Street in Duxbury, Massachusetts.

History

Alden arrived on the Mayflower to New England in 1620, and later moved to Duxbury. This house was built around 1653 and may have used materials from Alden's earlier house which was located nearby in Duxbury. The John Alden House was added to the National Historic Register in 1978. The John Alden House has been voted a National Historic Landmark. The voting took place at the end of July 2008. The next step is for the document to be signed by the Secretary of the Interior.
