Plimoth Plantation

Description:

• This attraction, an hour's drive south of Boston, is a working recreation of the Pilgrims' 1627 settlement, their ship, the Mayflower and a Wamponoag Indian village. Museum staff acts the part of former residents. There is a lot of detail, all the way down to the English dialect, domestic animals and costumes of the 17th century settlers; it makes this an authentic experience. A function hall and a picnic pavilion seat up to 220; 17th-century or modern menus are available. Call or check website for rates and ticket information. Cash only in the cafeteria.
