The Major Judah Alden House is a historic house located in Duxbury, Massachusetts. The house was built in 1732 by Major Judah Alden, a direct descendant of John Alden, one of the original Pilgrim settlers of Plymouth Colony. The two-story, wood-frame house is an excellent example of colonial architecture and is still in its original condition.

The house has a traditional center chimney plan, with two symmetrical rooms on either side of the chimney on each floor. The exterior features a gambrel roof, clapboard siding, and a large central chimney. The house also has two large central chimneys, one of which is original, and the other which was added in the 19th century.

The Alden House is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a contributing property to the Duxbury Rural Historic District. The house is now open to the public as a museum and is operated by the Duxbury Rural and Historical Society. It offers tours, exhibits, and educational programs about the history of the Alden family and the area. The house is also available for private events.
