Plimoth Plantation is Plymouth as it was in the 17th-century. It is a
centuries-old Wampanoag homesite. It is townspeople speaking the
poetic language of Shakespeare's England. It is the salty breeze
blowing across a wooden ship's deck.

In the 1627 English Village, talk with
costumed role players who portray the Plymouth colonists (popularly known
as the "Pilgrims") going about their daily lives in this small, re-created
coastal village.
Discover a different perspective at the Wampanoag Homesite, where
modern-day Native staff practice and preserve traditional skills and speak
about the history and culture of the Wampanoag People.
On the Plymouth waterfront, walk aboard Mayflower II, a full-scale
reproduction of the type of 17th-century sailing vessel that made the
famous voyage in 1620. In the Crafts Center, watch the skilled modern-day
artisans as they fashion the period furnishings and clothing used in the
1627 English Village. At the Nye Barn, learn about the museum's rare and
heritage breed livestock and their importance to global conservation
efforts.
A new exhibit called 13 Moons, is a stunningly visual new exhibit centered
on the seasonal/lunar cycles and their relation to the 17th-century diet.
In the Visitor Center, explore Thanksgiving: Memory, Myth & Meaning, an
indoor exhibit which covers the history of Thanksgiving, from present-day
traditions, to the origins of this American holiday.
In all of these locations, the engaging staff, thorough attention to
detail, and carefully reproduced environments ensure a fun and fascinating
visit. Take a step back in history at the Plimoth Plantation!
