A large open field on a gently sloping hillside, overlooking historic Plymouth Harbor. Take a walk around the perimeter (0.6 miles). For a longer excursion, continue along the 1-mile North Plymouth Rail Trail, immediately adjacent.
Features
Before the Revolutionary War, part of this field was known as the “Muster Ground,” where local militia members would gather to practice marching in formation and shooting their muskets. From the hillside, you can look across the water to Plymouth Beach and parts of Duxbury.
Trail Description
There are no distinct trails, but a mowed walking path is maintained around the 0.6-mile perimeter. Extend your walk on the North Plymouth Rail Trail, at the bottom of the hill.
Habitats and Wildlife
This large sloping field is open on two sides, and bordered on the other two with woodland. There is a small section of wetlands at the base of the hill. Look for oak, cedar and cherry trees.
