Aptucxet Trading Post Museum

24 Aptucxet Road, (1 mile from junction of Routes 6 and 28), Bourne, MA
Tel: (508) 759-9487
 

In 1627, a trading post was built here to encourage commerce among Native Americans, Dutch colonists and the Pilgrims of Plymouth. It is believed that this was the first commercial establishment in the New World. In the 1920s the area was excavated and the original foundation was discovered, along with a rune stone experts believe came from the Viking era (around 1000 AD). Also on the grounds are a windmill, herb and wildflower gardens, and a trail along the canal.

Admission: $3.50 for adults, $1.50 for children 17 and under.
