The many exhibits here make
it possible to get a very clear picture of what arrival
in America meant to these pioneers.
Plymouth Rock
When the Pilgrims arrived,
they may or may not have stepped on the
Rock, but it's now an
American icon worth a look. More...
Mayflower II
To see this replica of the Mayflower is
to understand what the
Pilgrims suffered to flee religious persecution
and find freedom in the New World. More...
Plimoth Plantation
Most lifelike of all the representations of early colonial
life is Plimoth Plantation, a "living
history museum of 17th-century Plymouth," a
Pilgrim village as it may have looked in 1627. More...
Pilgrim Hall
The
oldest historical museum in
continuous service in the United States,
Pilgrim Hall was built in 1824
to house
artifacts the Pilgrims used. More...
Forefathers'
Monument
Designed by Hammet
Billings
of Boston
in 1855 and dedicated in 1889, the 81-foot-high
monument is figurative, with a great granite
statue of Faith surrounded by smaller
figures
of Liberty,
Law, Education, and Morality. More...
Plymouth's Historic Houses
These include the Richard Sparrow
House (1640), the oldest
house in Plymouth;
Howland House (1667),
once occupied by
Mayflower voyagers;
Harlow Old Fort House (1677),
with beams from the Pilgrims' log fort; Spooner
House (1749), built from rope-making
wealth; Antiquarian House (1809),
a ship captain's mansion; and the Mayflower
Society Museum (1754) in the
Edward Winslow House. More...
Pilgrim Progress
At 5 pm on Fridays in August, a group of
Plymouth citizens dressed as Pilgrims honor
the memory
of their ancestors
by re-creating the procession to church.
The number of persons, their sexes, and
ages have
been matched
to the small group of Pilgrims who survived
the first winter in the New World. When
you see the
procession,
you may be amazed at the small size of
the group that started it all.
