‘Dead and living coexist there’

The Duxbury Pier Light, built in 1871 and widely nicknamed "Bug Light" or "The Bug,"  marks the channel for the harbors of Plymouth, Kingston, and Duxbury.

“Out in the distance, along the horizon of the steel-colored water, a whale-watching boat slowly made its way into the harbor. It imperceptibly moved in a straight-line past Bug Light. Nicknamed ‘America's Hometown,’ Plymouth was unique. It was a place where the old and new, the dead and the living, the ancient and the modern seamlessly coexisted. Its shores were a haven - an opportunity - for any who were willing to come and make it their home.”

― Juliette Rose Kerr, Christian spiritual director and author of the novel To Fill a Jar With Water
