This house was the generational home of the Winslow family, a family that was among the first Pilgrims to land in Plymouth in 1620. Isaac Winslow, the house’s builder, was a colonel in the local militia and served as a legislator and judge in the colonial government. Isaac’s son, General John Winslow, was the commander of the Massachusetts forces in the French and Indian War and notoriously oversaw the British effort to expel Acadians from Nova Scotia. The house is regarded as a well-preserved example of how the Loyalist elite lived in Revolutionary-era Massachusetts. The house is owned and operated by The Winslow House museum, which offers group tour appointments for families, schools, and local organizations. They also host both private and public events.
