You are living history, not just watching a reeactment in our recreation of the early English Pilgrim settlement (17th-Century English Village); learn about the Indigenouse heritage of the Northeast from contemporary interpreters whose people have lived here for over 12,000 years at the Historic Patuxet Homesite. For your enjoyment, there is a cafe in the Visitor Center that serves 17th-century and modern favorites. To remember your visit, we have a wide variety of Plimoth artisan-made and local New England items for sale in four retail shops. Visiting during America's 250th Anniversary - Revolutionary Ideas Started Here! You can't understand the late 18th-century without its 17th-century (and, really, earlier!) beginnings. Come visit and learn the historical roots of the United States social, economic, and politial systems where the ideas self-government are embodied in the Mayflower Compact. We hope to see you soon! Safe travels.

Plimoth Grist Mill
STEM and History program for all ages! Located in historic downtown Plymouth, a short walk from the waterfront through Brewster Gardens is the Plimoth Grist Mill. 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!

We loved it!! We learned so much and my daughter loved doing jobs around the house as the settlers did. Highly recommend.

Love this! We always say that they are more willing to do chores in the English Village with the Pilgrims than at home. Glad to hear you had a good time!

We arrived early in the day and found several school field trips arrived at the same time. This turned out to be really bad because all of the interpreters were busy showing the school groups around or were swamped by the young kids. My son and I toured around on our own while we waited for the kids to leave. Eventually they did, but all of the interpreters left too! I guess they all decided to take a break at the same time. We had already seen everything on our own and needed time to visit the mill and ship as well so we left. There isn’t any explanation of things outdoors so the only educational material comes from the small museum area indoors. It is cool to see the buildings, but the trip wasn’t nearly as educational as I expected. My homeschooling son is learning US history this year, and he learned little if anything on this visit. The mill and ship take very little time to go through. They have done a great job on the ship though! I toured the mayflower 20 years ago, and it was nowhere near as nice then. As far as ship visits go, however, visiting the museum and Old Ironsides in Boston is more educational and much cheaper.

Great experience. Loved the re-enactments. The staff really got into character making this village unlike any other. It was amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed ever bit of the village and seeing how the pilgrims lived. They cooked food and worked on building items, sang, danced, tended to the homes, etc. The mayflower was a great tour and a must see! Also enjoyed the grist.
