Hedge House

Plymouth Antiquarian Society

The 1809 Hedge House is one of Plymouth’s finest examples of Federal period architecture, featuring octagonal rooms in the main block, and a rare, intact carriage house. Built by Captain William Hammatt, the house was originally located on Court Street, where Memorial Hall is today. In 1830, merchant Thomas Hedge purchased the house and expanded it to accommodate his large family.

From its current Water Street location, the Hedge House Museum overlooks scenic Plymouth harbor. Tours of the restored Hedge House are available on a regular basis each year during the summer months, or by special appointment.
