Located about 25 miles north of Plymouth on the Massachusetts coast, the Old Ship Church was established by a group of Puritans who hailed from Hingham, England.

In 1681, the settlement's 140 families raised enough money to build the town's first chapel. With its distinct roofline resembling a ship's hull, the church's architectural style was reminiscent of the settlers' native England.

As one of the oldest wooden church structures in the country, both the frame and walls are original, with oak timber beams felled from the local old-growth forest.
