Safe travels.

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!

The tickets are too expensive for what you get. The museum is ok but the outdoors area is not so good. Even though the pioneers area allows you to get a pretty good idea about life conditions back then, the indigenous area is so abandoned and neglected, no actors, no objects, noting. The visit to the Mayflower II is quite mediocre. It’s a beautiful ship though. It’s definitely worth walking the city but not paying for the expensive tickets at all.

Thank you for your comment and we are sorry that you didin't enjoy your experience at the Museum. The area that you refer to as the 'pioneer area' is an actual Plymouth Colonyt reproduction setting in the year 1627 (backed by primary source) with historical interpreters that continuosly engage with guests in an immersive activities such as militia drills, gardening, farm animals, colonial song and dance, games, or you may help lend a hand with the Pilgrims daily chores. Our guests are living history, not just watching a reenactment. The indigenous area is the Historic Patuxet Homesite. This is their New Year, when they relocate from their winter dwelling to the coast and live in a single wetu (house) along side a crop field. The area is barren early April as would be their traditional site. The bark from the winter house was removed recently and our staff is on a trip to bring back bark to reestablish that house, as you would in the spring. When the sap runs in the tree is when you can peel the bark, and being fleixlbe, it is when you would repair your winter home. The crop area is readywith mounds for companion planting, which will take place in a few weeks, still to early to plant corn, beans and squash in this region in April. You would have also seen the cooking arbor and mishoons (dugout canoes) that have been completed. We will begin to burn another tree for a canoe soon, a slow process so that we can teach our guests. Mayflower is a U.S. National Register of Historic Place, a gift from the people of England to the U.S. for our help in the war, is a reporoduction of a 17th-century merchant vessel. Modern day guides and maritime staff are on hand at every level and corner of the ship eager to talk with guests about the 1620 and 1957 voyages and her recent restoration. Visiting Plimoth Patuxet and Mayflower takes approximately 4 hours for the average guest, you are welcome to spend all day or come and go for the ticket price, a great value.

About an hour drive from Boston, great day trip to get out of the big city. The reproduction village was very well done, staff was friendly and helpful with alot of fun and genuine displays of the times. Spent about 1.5 hr here, before driving the the Grist Mill and Mayflower. Tip...there is free parking right behind the Grist Mill, and its an easy nice walk down to the Mayflower. We did all three and worth it all!

Glad you enjoyed your visit. And, thank you for letting everyone know about the free parking at Jennery Pond, Spring Lane where the Plimoth Grist Mill is located. The path from the mill to the waterfront and Mayflower is historic along Town Brooke, which now has the herring running and youalso see the aritisenal springs of the fresh water sources that the Pilgrims saw 400 years ago. It's a nice 10 minute walk, one that you will see many locals take.

If you have young children and need a full day out, this is the place. I took my toddlers and we were here for hours. They were captivated by every bit of it. We did take a lunch break halfway through (we brought our own snacks). The re-enactments were really fun and my children had a ball in the children's section at the bottom of the hill of the village. The staff were all very welcoming. We also went on a great weather day and only encountered one school group.
