Pilgrimage to Plymouth

Lucy is on a mission into the unknown. Not knowing exactly where she is headed or what she will find when she gets there, on she travels in search of a better future for car buyers everywhere. Therefore, it was only appropriate that Lucy make a stop on Plymouth, MA in order to see the land of the origional Pilgrims.

Plimoth Plantation, Plymouth MA
Our first stop was Plimoth Plantation, a great live action museum and a great place for kids to learn about the life of the early pilgrims and native people of Massachusetts. They have recreated both an early colonial village and a Wampanoag homesite as they would have looked in the early 17th century.  The museum staff even spoke as if they were pilgrims.  Very educational. 

Colonial Village at Plimoth Plantation
Near Plymouth Rock is a recreation of the Mayflower--the ship that the pilgrims used to sail the Atlantic.  It is called the Mayflower II, and you can tour it.  I couldn't believe how small the ship was!  Those were very brave and hardy souls who sailed over!http://www.plimoth.org/features/mayflower-2/
