Notable Land Records

The Plymouth Registry of Deeds, the oldest land registry in the country with documents dating back to the original Plymouth Colony, has highlighted a number of interesting properties around the county in their exhibit “Notable Land Records.” Each entry has a brief description and a deed, plan or other document recorded by the Registry. All of the properties in the collection can be viewed online, and a rotating selection hang in the Registry entryway. The Local History Room submitted a number of Kingston properties, with more to come.
