It was a lot of fun! Unfortunately because of covid19, there were less workers and less presentations, even on a Saturday. But overall it was fun.

I appreciate trying to keep history alive. Comparing it to other living history tours I have been to it was overpriced for the content. This could have been impacted by COVID.

Yes, Covid has placed many restrictions on our exhibits. In a non-covid world you would have been able to enter and sit in the Indigenous and Pilgrim homes, immerse yourself in history with helping with the daily activities of 17th life. Even in this covid environment, there are many opportunities to engage (hear, see and smell) and learn about the Wampanoag and English colonist story first hand with our colonial interpreters role-playing first person Pilgrims in every day life in 1627 and from Indigenous staff.

My husband and I traveled to the Plimouth Plantation as our first stop on our trip to Cape Cod. The museum site map is easy to follow. Wear comfortable shoes as you will walk to each section of the museum. The actors in the 17th century village were exceptional. We truly enjoyed conversing with Mrs. Bradford and the young militia man. I especially enjoyed learned about the Wampanoag culture and the traditional way to make a canoe. Our time at the Mayflower was an excellent experience, too. It was great to speak with the museum educators. We learned so much.

I too continue to learn something new everyday, it's an amazing history. If you decide to visit again next year, you may see that mishoon as an exhibit next to the Mayflower. It is the largest dugout canoe known to have been made by the Wampanoag Nation in 200 years.
