Three Places To Visit In Plymouth Massachusetts

Manifest What you Want, Whenever you Want....

The town of Plymouth, Massachusetts, of course, is best known as the place where the Pilgrims first landed in the Mayflower in 1620, but in recent years it has become a coveted tourist destination. The quiet beaches and the rich history both make it a great place to visit. There are plenty of beach houses for rent every summer, and these beach houses can be rented for even less in the winter if you need a quiet place to stay for a few months! Perhaps you are planning a trip to Plymouth already; if you are, these are three places you need to make sure you visit.

Plimoth Plantation: Plimoth Plantation is a recreation of the Pilgrim's original settlement. When you go, you will be able to see life the way the Pilgrims lived it, complete with women churning butter and men farming and a church that has a trap door in the back that leads to a cannon upstairs, in case of invasion. You can interact with the "inhabitants" of Plimoth Plantation - a cast made up of wonderful actors and actresses - and you can even visit the local Indian settlement. Unlike those who "live" in Plimoth Plantation, these Indians are not actors at all; they are actual Indians who have continued to follow the customs of their ancestors, and these Indians allow the visitors to interact with them and learn from them.

Plymouth Rock: This is the rock on which the Pilgrims are said to have originally landed. You can view the rock and take pictures of it in the enclosure where it now rests. This rock signifies the birth of America, and you are sure to feel the historical significance of it when you look upon it.

Mayflower II: This recreation of the ship that brought the Pilgrims to America set sail from Devon, England in 1957, traveling for 55 days before landing in Plymouth Harbor. This voyage was heralded as a great historic re-imagining of the original journey that began America, and the Mayflower II - built to resemble the original Mayflower in every way - is now moored at State Pier in Plymouth. It is open to guests and visitors.

Make sure you make time to visit these wonderful, historic landmarks during your trip to Plymouth; after all, you will need more to do than just enjoy the quiet of the beach and the charm of the New England coastline!
