[daytripper, 07/25/2014]On Old Sandwich Road is a rock sometimes referred to as "Indian Rock." Supposedly it was used for sacrifices.
[anonymous, 02/19/2013]According to the Plymouth Antiquarian Society (which owns the rock), the "sacrifices" made to the rock were symbolic sticks or stones, not living creatures. A plaque bolted to the rock asserts that its Indian name translates to "God's Rock."
