Morning arrival in Plymouth. Get ready to go back to the 17th century where you will see and feel what it must have been like for the brave settlers of this New World.

Your first stop is the Mayflower II, located in Plymouth Harbor. This is a full scale reproduction of the type of ship
that brought the early colonists to their new home. As you tour the ship you can talk to costumed interpreters about their voyage and what a typical day was like on board the ship. Was there enough food? Did everyone have a bed? Let's find out...

Next to the ship is Plymouth Rock. Be sure to take a photo of this famous rock where the first pilgrims landed.

Travel to the settlement of Plimoth Plantation. Here you will enjoy a delicious Traditional Thanksgiving
lunch before walking down into the Village.

What will you find at Plimoth Plantation? In this Pilgrim Village, each day corresponds to a day in 1627. The inhabitants can show you how to build a timber frame house, cook a pottage, or even tell you how to find the
Virginias. You will see rare breeds of animals and lovely gardens. Every family has a vegetable garden to tend to.

Further down the road you will come to Habbamock's Homesite where Native interpreters in a 17th century
setting speak about the experience of their ancestors as well as Wampanoag life today.

End your day with a visit to the Jenney Grist Mill. Hear the story of Pilgrim John Jenney, his journey to America
and how he built the original grist mill. See the water wheel turn the grinding stones and hear how corn is grounded
by the turn of a stone.
