Understand
Deborah Sampson was born in Plympton in 1760. She dressed as a man and fought in the Revolutionary War. When her leg was injured, she tended to it herself so her gender was not discovered. Later, the leg became infected and she was hospitalized. Her gender was discovered and she was honorably discharged.

Get in
Carver lies sandwiched between I-495 to the west, and MA-3 to the east. US-44 runs along the northern border, and you'll likely need MA-58 to reach your destination. Routes 106 and 58 both run through Plympton.

Get around
A car will be necessary, these small towns are car dependent and have no public transportation. There are few sidewalks so walking from point to point may not be possible.

Sleep
Camping is also available at Myles Standish State Forest, see above.
