We visited Cape Cod for 10 days this last fall and my husband and I both agree the Plimoth Plantation was one of the highlights of the entire trip. We went on the most beautiful fall day- full of sunshine and scenery. We both love history and we learned so much more then they told us in school. The fact that Plimoth was not the first place the Mayflower stopped and everyone went ashore. How it came to be that the brave people who crossed the ocean in a ship that was barely seaworthy decided to stay and build there first settlement at Plimoth. The relationship the settlers had with the American Indian community that also lived in thar area. We were shocked to hear just how much these 2 groups of people relied on each other and even signed a formal agreement promising to help defend each other if one group was attacked. Plan to spend the whole day. There are costumed guides who talk to you as if it was back in their day. We were amused at the ideas about health and disease and how seriously the leaders took these ideas. We drove up and down the coast all week and if we had only a few days to revisit we'd go back there. We both have thought of so many more questions we would ask. We fully recommend this historical " museum". We did not see any children there but school was back in session. I believe children older then 7 or 8 would get a great deal out of visiting and seeing history infront of them Younger children may have a harder time as it is a great deal of walking and pushing a stroller on the dirt roads would be very difficult. They would probably grow impatient listening to the actors and not having any idea what was being talked about. Please- if you are in the area and have a good pair ou'd walking shoes- visit Plimoth Plantation.

So glad to hear you enjoyed your experience. You are so right, what we are taught in school doesn't compare to the depth of knowledge and information that is shared at Plimoth Plantation. Two perspectives Indigenous People - Wampanoag Nation and the English colonists known as the Pilgrims. At the museum you hear directly from the indigenous people of their history which is an oral tradition passed down in stories, and in the English Village there are first person role-players historically accurately portraying the colonists in the year 1627. Hope you can come back for the 400th Commemoration in 2020 or the 400th anniversary of what Americans refer to as the First Thanksgiving in 2021.

The plantation was just ok but might be better in the busy season. There were some costumed reenactors who portrayed Pilgrims and Native Americans. There's life size homes of both that you can visit and ask questions. (Wish the two young men who were burning out canoes would have been more willing to talk and explain the process) but the whole place seemed unenthusiastic. The facilities were clean but needs updated. In hindsight, we thought the lack of signs and/or clear directions to the museum was odd. The Grist Mill was very underwhelming and is several miles from the plantation so you have to drive. Nothing is marked very well so you might get lost like we did. The museum "Should I Stay or Should I Go" is within walking distance from the mill and it's quite a pretty trail but the museum was so pathetic. The displays are all outside and faded, and water damaged. We paid $68 for two people for all 3 locations and we regretted it.

Linda, I'm so sorry that you did not receive the experience that we dedicate ourselves to provide to every guest. The waterfront exhibit is a temporary exhibit while Mayflower has been away in restoration for the last three years and is showing it's age, it comes downs at the end of November 2019. The back to back nor' easter storms we had have impacted that exhibit, we have put attention and detail to them to get them through this season for our guests (families with children have enjoyed this walk through history) and hope that if you are in the area again, you will give us another opportunity.

Plimoth Plantation is an interesting reconstruction of an early settler’s stockaded village with costumed actors re-enacting characters from that era and demonstrations of cookery and armed defence. Also reconstruction of native Indian site with costumed Indian descendants demonstrating their everyday skills. Grist Mill in central Plymouth is also interesting Unfortunately Mayflower ll is not in Plymouth at present as still under refurbished
