Plymouth - Plimoth Plantation

A living history museum, Plimoth Plantation, tries to re-create the experience of living in 17th century colonial America. Visitors learn about the Plymouth Colony from costumed interpreters who perform daily tasks like gardening, building cooking and military training. Craftsmen use authentic tools to make objects common in the 17th century. Every year is the year 1627 at Plimoth Plantation.
