A HIGH Post Bed in the John Alden House, Duxbury. John and Priscil-la died in a small down-stairs bedroom, where a later bed now is, off the kitchen. It is too bad that a place built by the son of these typical ancient worthies, cannot be restored and kept within and without as a permanent memorial.

The house at Duxbury is at last available to be seen by the public, and sometime the proper attention will be paid to its restoration.

The construction of the house frame, with its great braced posts and beams, is clearly shown, and no doubt follows the plan, and may even be the handiwork of John Alden, who was the most skilled in tools of any man of the original settlers.
