Manomet

Manomet is a seaside village of Plymouth, MA. Plymouth holds a place of great prominence in American history, folklore, and culture, and is known as "America's Hometown." Plymouth was the site of the colony founded in 1620 by the Mayflower Pilgrims, where New England was first established. It is the oldest municipality in New England and one of the oldest in the United States.

Plymouth is located approximately 40 miles south of Boston, in a region known as the South Shore.  Despite the town's rich history, Plymouth has the modern amenities that you'd want to find when moving to an area and is an excellent place to raise a family. It's a town where the history comes together with the parks and beaches, outstanding schools, and plenty of other activities.

Manomet is known for its Independence Day celebrations, which actually take place one day early, on the 3rd of July. The celebrations usually consist of private bonfires, fireworks, and a typically family oriented crowd. Manomet's July 3 celebration of Independence Day extends back to the 1800s, when residents burned scrap and driftwood on the beach. Tradition dictates that these bonfires be extinguished by the rising tide, so depending on the moon, the festivities may extend well into the night, or end relatively early.
