Just south of Boston on the road to Cape Cod lay one of America’s most storied communities, Plymouth, Massachusetts. The Town of Plymouth is most well known for its Pilgrim History and the story of the small band of 102 English radicals who left their native country to forge a new life in a New England.
Plimoth Plantation: By far Plymouth County's most remarkable attraction. This living history museum includes Mayflower II, a reproduction of the 17th-century merchant ship that brought the Pilgrims to Plymouth in 1620, a Native American Homesite where visitors learn of the Wampanoag culture that was affected by immigration as well as the relationship that the Pilgrims and Native People forged in order to survive. The 1627 English Village is a living, breathing village with animals, houses and most importantly, staff who role play the parts of some of the actual residents of the Plantation at that time. It is done so well that many visitors are convinced the Pilgrims really live here now, in the 21st century.
Pilgrim Hall Museum: Other very important and impressive ways to learn more about “America’s Hometown” are in Plymouth's attic, otherwise known as Pilgrim Hall Museum. This is the oldest museum continuously open to the public in America where many of the original artifacts owned by the Pilgrims now reside and where the special exhibit "Plymouth History in a Glass" covers the artifacts and culture of beverages and drinking through the ages. Pilgrim Hall is open February through December. And, although Salem is known for its haunted happenings, Plymouth too offers Dead of Night Ghost and Lantern Tours to put the “spirit” of all Old New England in you.
Other area historical attractions on Boston’s South Shore include: The Hull Lifesaving Museum http://www.bostonharborheritage.org, The Irish Mossing Museum http://www.scituatehistoricalsociety.org, in Scituate and a number of smaller historic homes that dot the landscape of Plymouth County from Boston to Cape Cod and now make up the "Back Roads Of The South Shore www.southshorebackroads.org.
