Travelog: Plimouth Plantation, Plymouth Massachusetts

One thing I did not know: Massachusetts is a tiny state with an overwhelming amount to do and see. You could spend weeks just touring around Massachusetts and learning about history and seeing some amazing sites. Another thing I didn’t know, it takes between 20-40 minutes to drive 4 miles. We were going to go to Cape Cod on one of the days there, but we were too exhausted and just stayed home eating chinese and watching Ellen reruns all day. Being a busy mom and business owner, a day like that was blissful!

Being a History junkie that I am, I was thrilled to visit Plimouth Plantation. We got to visit a replica Wompanoag tribe, and then a Pilgrim village. We didn’t get to visit the Mayflower ii because it is being renovated. Here are some photo stories.

Oh and yes, we did go see the Plymouth Rock on the coast. It’s literally just a white rock with “1620” engraved on it. It wasn’t the most fascinating thing I’ve ever seen, but the town of Plymouth is just adorable and I loved it!

The native Americans who work here are either Wampanoag descendants or other tribe descendants. They speak to you in modern day so you can ask questions.

Isn’t the Pilgrim village so beautiful?! That view!! The pilgrims are in character. They speak to you as if they just got off the Mayflower a year ago. They know nothing of modern day anything, and will speak to you about politics, remedies, recipes, in their time. They all were so busy doing various things: gardening, chopping wood, making things, etc. It was really fun to see.
