You are living history, not just watching a reeactment in our recreation of the early English Pilgrim settlement (17th-Century English Village); learn about the Indigenouse heritage of the Northeast from contemporary interpreters whose people have lived here for over 12,000 years at the Historic Patuxet Homesite. For your enjoyment, there is a cafe in the Visitor Center that serves 17th-century and modern favorites. To remember your visit, we have a wide variety of Plimoth artisan-made and local New England items for sale in four retail shops. Visiting during America's 250th Anniversary - Revolutionary Ideas Started Here! You can't understand the late 18th-century without its 17th-century (and, really, earlier!) beginnings. Come visit and learn the historical roots of the United States social, economic, and politial systems where the ideas self-government are embodied in the Mayflower Compact. We hope to see you soon! Safe travels.

Plimoth Grist Mill

STEM and History program for all ages! Located in historic downtown Plymouth, a short walk from the waterfront through Brewster Gardens is the Plimoth Grist Mill. A working reproduction of the mill built by Pilgrim John Jenney, in the original location along Town Brook, you will learn about the operations of the waterfed powered mill, and the ecology of Town Brook. For those who love to bake, stop in to the retail store to purchase freshly stone-ground cornmeal and Sampe (Grits). On Saturday afternoons, the mill stones are operational, the other days of the week, the millers are preparing the cornmeal by sifting, willowing and preparing the stones for the next run. Try your hand at milling with the immersive exhibits in the lower exhibit of the mill. You may select to visit this location on the same day as you visit Plimoth Patuxet or a different day during the 2025 season. See you soon!

Modern-day guides are on hand to enrich your experience, sharing stories about 1620, and the history of Mayflower. Visiting during America's 250th Anniversary - Revolutionary Ideas Started Here! You can't understand the late 18th-century without its 17th-century (and, really, earlier!) beginnings.

A mixed experience at a very well intentioned living museum. We visited during the week of the Mayflower's return. Ticket purchasing was confusing online, and it seemed impossible to purchase just a ticket for the plantation property (??). We paid $124.41 for two adults and a 10-year old. We showed up at our entry time, but at the wrong place--did not realize the ship was 2.5 miles away, had to race to get to the ship. And the Mayflower was... ok. A beautiful ship when viewed (for free!) from the harbor, but minimal information on board. We encountered only one costumed staff person offering information, and few informational signs. I would not pay to board the ship again, if the experience remains the same. Back at Plimoth Plantation, again information was lacking! We were sent down a hallway to start the experience. After we stood there for a while, we learned that we needed to download a QR code and watch the 12-min orientation on our phones. Nobody had mentioned that. Hm. The indigenous and colonial areas were fascinating, but also seemed very understaffed; sparse representation of informative costumed staff. I'm very glad the museum has embraced the indigenous side of its history, but you'd never guess there was anything other than happy coexistence between native people and settlers. It is still a bit lowest common denominator. I am sure this is all pandemic related, but still, the price was premium given that we were channeled through the Mayflower thing. No visitor Wifi in this day and age is weird, especially at this price point. Food was fine, and reasonably priced.

Thank you for your comment. Let me try to answer some of your concerns. When purchasing admission tickets through Trip Advisor there are redemption instructions on the ticket to exchange the voucher for admission at Plimoth Plantation. I'm not sure where the confusion of timed entry came from, all Trip Advisor tickets are open, next available, there is no timed entrance listed. So, I'm even more confused as to why you had to race down from Plimoth Plantation to the Mayflower, unless you upgraded your ticket on arrival to include the Mayflower which was only being sold through our online site or at the museum the week of the ships homecoming. If that's the case, with the ship open until 7pm that week, I would have recommended that you stay in place and visit the ship later in the afternoon. along with the Plimoth Grist Mill that had a closing time of 5pm. I'm sorry you had to do a lot of running around, not the best experience when you are planning a relaxing day to visit Plimoth. Regarding you comment about wifi, yes we do have service for our guests. you may have needed the password from guest services. I will pass along your comment to the Director, Guest Services. While all ticket associates are required to inform our guests of covid policies and that our orientation film is on available through a QR code/Plimoth.org, it's always good to remind them. Thank you for letting me know. Safe travels home.

Was not crowded due to the Covid situation. The actors and staff were knowledgeable. It was great to see what the houses would have looked like. Did not have a full staff for every facet of life or the houses, again, most likely due to attendance. Dud not see the Grist Mill, as saw one in Sudsbury which would have been a waste. The gift stores were stocked with interesting books including those that were on the Mayflower. Mayflower was not in port only because of its restoration. Saw it in dry dock in Mystic Connecticut when they were working on it. Was impressive then. The walk down looks like it is gradual, however, on a very hot day it is a trek. The paths are also gravel and uneven. There was also a mediation area. Also saw a canoe in the process of being built/constructed. The kids were able to see and/or better imagine what it was like during that time instead of just reading about it in a book.

Hello and thank you for your comment. Yes, agree on a hot day the patch back from the Homesite to the Village needs to be taken slowly. For those that are mobile impaired or have health concerns, we offer a complimentary service that will transport you from one exhibit to another. You may inquire at Guest Services. Plimoth has 7 distinctive retail stores, if you forgot something or need an item for Thanksgiving, we offer shipping around the world.

The pilgrim village was amazing. How the homes we built and lived. The pilgrim players stayed in character.

Pre Covid-19 our guests were able to engage in activities with the Pilgrims, making the daub and placing it on the walls of the houses, all part of what makes Plimoth special, immersive activities.
