The Hedge House in Plymouth, MA is a meticulously restored 1809 Federal period architecture gem, showcasing octagonal rooms and a rare intact carriage house. Originally owned by shipowner William Hammatt and later purchased by merchant Thomas Hedge, this historic house offers visitors a glimpse into 19th-century social and domestic life through its period rooms filled with China Trade treasures, American furnishings, and textiles.
Rescued from demolition in 1919 by the Plymouth Antiquarian Society, the Hedge House Museum now stands proudly on Water Street, overlooking picturesque Plymouth harbor. With its faithfully reproduced wallpaper and carpeting, the museum immerses guests in the rich history of the Hedge family and their contributions to Plymouth's early industrial and entrepreneurial endeavors.
