Brant Rock Seafood, about 3 miles to the north on Route 139, past the Green Harbor Marina is the oldest fresh seafood store in U.S. Also, consider Embers Restaurant on Rte 139 in Marshfield and Wildflowers (especially for breakfast)in Duxbury.

Historic post and beam Cape Cod house constructed by Pilgrim descendent John Rouse, Jr. Land grant documents signed by Pilgrim John Alden. First of 6 homes on private wooded lane located at south limit of Green Harbor section of Marshfield, just north of Duxbury's crossing of Rte's 3A & 139. Easy to find. Hard to forget. A reprint of Marshfield Historical Society's history of this house is kept in the living room for history buffs. This history lists the names of all the owners from 1695 until present day (incluing-is your family name listed?-such names as Bourne, Cushman, Delano, Sprague, Tucker, Osborne, Whiting, Weston, Peterson, Ayres, Boland, Baraw, Anthony Bernard, Dane & Kennedy). In addition, a copy of 'Mayflower' is available which gives the 'real story' vs. the romantic version of the Pilgrims/Indians and other early English settlements in New England.
