The Hedge House Lawn features acoustic, coffeehouse-style concerts in an intimate setting. There’s no stage – all the performers play right on the grass – and it’s a great place to take your whole family, spread out a blanket, and enjoy food or ice cream while taking in some great music. The location is beautiful sprawling lawn right on Water St., in front of the Hedge House Museum. Use of the lawn was generously donated by the Plymouth Antiquarian Society. Located right in the heart of the Plymouth Waterfront. Parking: adjacent Visitor Info Center/Ming Dynasty parking lot, $.50/hr, free after 7pm; public restrooms at the Visitor Information Center (130 Water St.) until 8pm.

About the Hedge House
We’re very fortunate to have the beautiful lawn of the Hedge House donated by the Plymouth Antiquarian Society for the concerts. The Hedge House has a very interesting story behind it – it was first built by sea captain William Hammatt in 1809, then in 1830 when Thomas Hedge purchased the home. It remained in the Hedge family until 1919 when it was purchased by the Antiquarian Society to save it from being destroyed to build Plymouth Memorial Hall. It was actually moved from where Memorial Hall is now, to its present location – and where the awesome, musical lawn is now, once stood one of the many big factories that occupied Plymouth’s coast. Watch this video for a brief look at how the Hedge House came to be where it is now:
