The Plymouth Antiquarian Society’s annual Pilgrim breakfast will be served on the grounds of the historic Harlow Old Fort House, a 119 Sandwich St., from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. Sunday, June 27. Enjoy a taste of old New England and help this Plymouth family tradition celebrate its 77th year.
Young volunteers in Pilgrim costume will serve homemade codfish cakes, baked beans, scrambled eggs, muffins, coffee, tea and juice. Visitors and residents will sit down together at long common tables to share good food and good company. The youngest Pilgrim helpers sell “tussie-mussies,” tiny herb-and-blossom corsages that in the Colonial period were worn to gladden the heart. A costumed musical group will perform songs of the Pilgrims, and the Harlow Old Fort House will be open for tours. Crafts demonstrations and Colonial activities for children will also be offered during the event.
The cost is $10 per person; a family rate of $35 for four (two adults and two children) is also available. All proceeds benefit the preservation of the 1677 Harlow House, one of the oldest surviving Colonial homesteads in Plymouth. Reservations are recommended. Call 508-746-0012 or e-mail pasm@verizon.net.
