Norman, the owner of Standish House Bed and Breakfast, is the tenth generation from Myles Standish and is also decended from four other passengers - George Soule, Edward Doty, William Mullins, and John Alden, who also came to America on the Mayflower.  In order to perpetuate the memory of our forefathers, Standish House Bed and Breakfast is operated as a "livin museum" of Pilgrim History.  Each year Norman and his wife Ingrid speak to school children, churches, libraries and civic groups so that they better understand the history of the Pilgrims.
