Built in 1667 for Jacob Mitchell and his family, the Jabez Howland House is one of the oldest houses in Plymouth. The historic two-story wood frame house is located at 33 Sandwich Street. Jacob Mitchel was a son of one of the Pilgrims Experience Mitchell. The house was subsequently bought by Jabez Howland, the son of another Pilgrim John Howland and his wife Elizabeth Tilley. The family lived in the house until John died and Elizabeth moved to Rhode Island. The house went through a number of families and served as a private residence until 1915, when it was purchased by The Pilgrim John Howland Society. They carefully renovated the house to return it back to its original look, furnished it with period furniture and décor, and opened it for tours and events. The house is listed on the National Register of Historic Houses.
