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.

Must-see attractions nearby:
There is a full-scale reproduction of the Mayflower called the Mayflower II which is associated with the Plantation but is permanently birthed at the Plymouth Pier. It provides information on the voyage and the Pilgrims.

As well, visitors can see Hobbamock's Homesite, a re-creation of Wampanoag (Native American) dwellings, gardens and artifacts. Interpreters in period dress tell how the area's first inhabitants lived before and after the colonist's arrival.
