REYNOLDS-MAXWELL GARDEN

Reynolds-Maxwell Garden sits on Washington Street near the Bluefish River bridge, a small but genuinely lovely spot to sit and watch the water. In the early-to-mid 1800s this area of the Blue Fish River was a busy hub of shipyards, wharves, and mills, and in 1906 a Portuguese immigrant named Tony Lucas built a house on the property that would eventually become the garden. The Duxbury Rural & Historical Society purchased the land in 1943, and the Duxbury Garden Club has tended it for more than 70 years since; it was rededicated as the Reynolds-Maxwell Garden in 2021 following a major seawall restoration.
