  • THE COURT HOUSES of PLYMOUTH by Rose T
    THE COURT HOUSES OF PLYMOUTH by Rose T. Briggs Pilgrim Society Note, Series One, Number 17, May 1966 Plymouth, the county seat of Plymouth County, was also the capital town of Plymouth Colony, and thus has a judicial history which antedates the establishment of Plymouth County in 1685, and goes back to the founding of Plymouth Colony in 1620. Plymouth Colony had a well established judicial system before 1685. The first entry in its Book of Laws, dated December 27, 1623, provided that: all crimynall facts; and also all maters of trespass; and debts between man & man should be tried by the verdict of twelve honest men, to be impaneled by Authoryty in the forme of a jurie upon their oaths. The entry is in the handwriting of Governor Bradford. Before 1623, trials had taken place before the whole body of freemen, sitting as a General Court, the Governor and Assistants presiding. This General Court elected officers, passed ordinances, and took what judicial action was necessary. Its first recorded meeting was in the spring of 1621. The meeting was held in the Common House, the site of which, at the foot of Leyden Street, is marked with a tablet by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. When the Fort was built on Burial Hill in 1622, the lower chamber was used as a meeting place, not only for Sunday services, but for Colony business, which presumably included the meetings of the General Court. In 1637, a Meeting House, for both religious and secular meetings, was built on the north side of what is now Town Square.

HISTORIC FURNISHINGS ASSESSMENT Ford Mansion and Wic·k House Morristown National Historical Park Morristown, New Jersey by Laurel A. Racine Senior Curator ..J Northeast Museum Services Center National Park Service December 2003 Introduction Morristown National Historical Park has two furnished historic houses: The Ford Mansion, otherwise known as Washington's Headquarters, at the edge of Morristown proper, and the Wick House in Jockey Hollow about six miles south. The following report is a Historic Furnishings Assessment based on a one-week site visit (November 2001) to Morristown National Historical Park (MORR) and a review of the available resources including National Park Service (NPS) reports, manuscript collections, photographs, relevant secondary sources, and other paper-based materials. The goal of the assessment is to identify avenues for making the Ford Mansion and Wick House more accurate and compelling installations in order to increase the public's understanding of the historic events that took place there. The assessment begins with overall issues at the park including staffing, interpretation, and a potential new exhibition on historic preservation at the Museum. The assessment then addresses the houses individually. For each house the researcher briefly outlines the history of the site, discusses previous research and planning efforts, analyzes the history of room use and furnishings, describes current use and conditions, indicates extant research materials, outlines treatment options, lists the sources consulted, and recommends sourc.es for future consultation.

  • Notes on Cole's Hill
    NOTES ON COLE’S HILL by Edward R. Belcher Pilgrim Society Note, Series One, Number One, 1954 The designation of Cole‟s Hill as a registered National Historic Landmark by the National Park Service, Department of the Interior, was announced at the Annual Meeting of the Pilgrim Society on December 21, 1961. An official plaque will be placed on Cole‟s Hill. The formal application for this designation, made by the Society, reads in part: "... Fully conscious of the high responsibility to the Nation that goes with the ownership and care of a property classified as ... worthy of Registered National Historic Landmark status ... we agree to preserve... to the best of our ability, the historical integrity of this important part of our national cultural heritage ..." A tablet mounted on the granite post at the top of the steps on Cole‟s Hill bears this inscription: "In memory of James Cole Born London England 1600 Died Plymouth Mass 1692 First settler of Coles Hill 1633 A soldier in Pequot Indian War 1637 This tablet erected by his descendants1917" Cole‟s Hill, rising from the shore near the center of town and overlooking the Rock and the harbor, has occupied a prominent place in the affairs of the community. Here were buried the bodies of those who died during the first years of the settlement. From it could be watched the arrivals and departures of the many fishing and trading boats and the ships that came from time to time. In times of emergency, the Hill was fortified for the protection of the town.

  • The Season of Light
    HARBOR LIGHT DECEMBER 2018 The Season of Light It’s that time of the year when days are short, evening descends early, and the need for light seems to rise in most of our souls. It is a miracle that into such a time comes the ‘season of light’ in our synagogues, congregations, and churches! During both Hanukkah and Christmas, we light candles of memory, hope, and commitment – illuminating our world, our nation, and our individual lives. For Jews, Hanukkah is the celebration of the Festival of Lights, commemorating the restoration of the Temple in 165 BCE. The final act of rededication involved lighting the Eternal Light, the symbol of Israel’s everlasting faith. It was to be fueled with oil, but according to legend, there was only enough oil to last for one day. Miraculously, the oil burned for eight days until a new supply could be located. Hanukkah begins this year on December 2nd, followed by an eight-day celebration with the focus being the Menorah. Each day, another candle is lit until all eight lights are burning. For Christians, the Season of Advent begins December 2nd as well, with every church and many homes featuring an advent wreath with four candles. Each Sunday has a name: Hope, Peace, Love and Joy. A candle is lit each week in honor of its name. Candles are symbols of the light revealed in the Christ child, pushing back the darkness of hatred, injustice, and prejudice that divides people and nations. Most advent wreathes have a fifth candle in the middle, the Christ Candle, which is lit on Christmas Eve.

Norwood, Mass., U.S.A. ; 155688 PREFACE This book has been written primarily to meet a need arising from the introduction of the study of textiles into the curriculum of the high school. The aim has been, there- fore, to present the subject matter in a form sufficiently simple and interesting to be grasped readily by the high school student, without sacrificing essential facts. It has not seemed desirable to explain in detail the mechanism of the various machines used in modern textile industries, but rather to show the student that the fundamental principles of textile manufacture found in the simple machines of primitive times are unchanged in the highl}^ developed and complicated machinerj^ of to-day. Minor emphasis has been given to certain necessarily technical paragraphs by printing these in type of a smaller size than that used for the body of the text.
