Kingston
is located in southeastern Massachusetts, about 35 miles from Boston. The town was originally the north precinct of Plymouth Colony. It was incorporated as a distinct town in 1726 following a tax dispute between residents of north and south Plymouth. Kingston boasts the longest continuously run boat yard in North America, and the Revolutionary War era tall ship "Independence" was built by Kingston ship builders. Attractions in town include the historic 17-century home of Major John Bradford, grandson of Plymouth's 2nd Governor, William Bradford. The home contains period furnishings, a doll collection and Bradford family heirlooms. Activities at the museum include Sunday breakfasts during the months of July and August, home tours, auctions and flea markets on the grounds, New England dinners and more. Kingston Bay and Great Pond offer recreational opportunities in Kingston. Just some of the things to do in the area include canoeing, kayaking, sailing and boating, golf, hiking, biking, birdwatching and cross country skiing. Nearby are the historic attractions of Plimouth Plantation and Plymouth Rock and the replica of the Mayflower in Plymouth Bay. You can tour Plymouth Harbor on a Mississippi-style paddlewheeler, charter a boat for a day of deep sea fishing or go whale watching in Cape Cod Bay. The whole area is filled with museums, antique shops, fine restaurants and historic accommodations.
