I really enjoyed seeing the actual Plymouth Rock. Perhaps even more informative was a visit to Pilgrim Hall Museum. They have an amazing collection of furniture and items that actually crossed on the Mayflower and gave a more complete story of the migration in 1620. Plymouth Plantation was a wonderful recreation of a pilgrim Village of the 1600s. Talking with villagers I learned where they come from, why they came to the New World, and what their hopes and dreams for their might have been. The Mayflower II was not in Plymouth during my visit; it was being reconditioned for the 400th anniversary of the original voyage and will sail back to Plymouth next spring. Fortunately for me I visited Mystic Seaport in Connecticut and was able to see Mayflower II on my way home.

We had a great fall day exploring. It was great to see both sides of the coin and a clear understanding of the contrasting ways of life between the native tribe and colonists. The actors are a delight and you can see and imagine how hard life must have been and how small colonists felt in a large "new" country. The native people representing and explaining the Wampanoag way of life were informative and welcoming. I really enjoyed learning about their way of life and their connection to the land and animals. I went with a friend, and her son and friend (10yrs) . We spent 3.5 hours at the village and 30-40 minutes at the Gris Mill. (You can buy flower there). A short walk from the Gris Mill is Plimoth Rock, while your local it's a great stop to see this symbol of change on this continent. (no charge) And if you're lucky, like we were, you might catch the very informative history by the DCR ranger.

Although European grains like wheat didn’t grow very well in Plymouth, Pilgrim farmers discovered that rye was hardier than wheat and grew relatively well in the harsh New England climate. Housewives began mixing equal parts of cornmeal, wheat and rye together to make a “thirded flour” which stretched limited quantities of valuable wheat with rye flour and cornmeal. Today we still use this combination to make the New England classic, Boston Brown Bread.

The Plimoth Plantation park takes you back to colonial times, using role-playing actors that you can converse with. There are three sites in the park: a Native American village, an area showcasing the crafts of the colonial period, and a reconstructed village of the English settlers. I spent all my time in the English village, enjoyed it thoroughly, and could have stayed longer. The "settlers", in period clothing, do not give talks or put on a presentation; on the contrary, they stay in character as early settlers carrying out routine daily tasks, and it is up to you, the visitor, to engage them in conversation. If you ask they will tell you about their daily lives, their passage on the Mayflower seven years earlier, the difficulties they have encountered, their hopes for the future, and anything else that is appropriate for their role and era. They cannot comment on anything more recent than 1627. I found it enormously fun and educational to get into their world and see history through their eyes. The park is quite spread out and hilly, and mostly not paved; an electric cart can be called upon to shuttle visitors with physical limitations from place to place.
