History

The ship Hope was an astounding 880 tons. By the 1870s, Duxbury’s rural character and unspoiled bay began to attract summer visitors. Myles Standish's will mentions inheritance rights to lands close to Duxbury Manor and so it has been suggested that he was familiar with the location and named the new town in Massachusetts after an estate belonging to his relatives. The graves of many of Duxbury’s first settlers can be found in the Old Burying Ground on Chestnut Street, next to the site of original Meeting House. His empire, a fore-runner of vertical integration, dominated the town.
