My favorite part was visiting the Mayflower II and seeing the details of the ship. Also seeing Plymouth Rock and walking around the town. I like that the workers were in period dress for the added touch of history.

Absolutely enjoyed our time in Plymouth exploring the history of Plymouth Plantation, The Grist Mill & The Mayflower. Brought to mind the extrodinary journey & sacrifices the New England families made to worship & live freely in The New World.

My husband and I spent two days here - the first day at the museum's main site and the second day visiting the Grist Mill and the Mayflower II. I love to learn about history and the Plimoth Patuxet Museums does a wonderful job of engaging you. You can set yourself in the recreated English settlement and the Wampanoag village and imagine what life was like six years after the Pilgrims arrived. There are also typical museum exhibitions in the main building and a separate building for craft and other life events demonstrations. For instance, the day we attended, a staff member give a demonstration about plants the Pilgrims would have used for wound care. In the English village we engaged with costumed actors and asked them many questions as we learned about their culture, religion, politics, daily living routines and the like. You also see cows, sheep, goats and chickens in what would have been their natural settings at the time. The recreated houses give you a sense of how the Pilgrims lived and we saw a cooking demonstration over the fire at one of the houses. Other demonstrations, and ones in which you an participate, included dancing, singing, kindling making and log splitting. In the Wampanoag village we met native people who guided us through a typical living space called a wetu and we also talked with people who were demonstrating cooking over fire and hand weaving bags used for a variety of purposes. We learned much about life at the time as well as life for these native peoples today. The next day we toured the Grist Mill, which is a working mill processing corn. If you are an engineer, this one is for you! This Mill is a recreation and represents a facsimile of the one used by the Pilgrims. Plan to take the lovely walk along the creek to the waterfront and tour the Mayflower II. Again, the staff help you imagine what a crossing taking 66 days with over 100 people, animals and goods would have been like in this relatively small ship.
