Touring Plimoth Plantation

Day Trip to Plimoth Plantation

A fun fall day trip from Cape Cod includes a fascinating tour of the historic 1627 English Village at Plimoth Plantation, in Plymouth, Massachusettes.

A Trip Back in Time

The 1627 English village is exactly what the name suggests, a re-creation of a 1627 farming town just like the ones some of the earliest settlers of the U.S, would have built in the middle of the Wampanoag Indians’ land. Visitors to the village will find themselves taken back to life as it was in an authentic “Pilgrim” village just seven years after the Mayflower landed.

Self-Guided Tours

The whole experience is self guided so you can walk at your own pace amongst the timber frame houses, gardens, livestock and villagers. Feel free to ask questions or strike up a conversation with any of the role players who are going about their days eating, working or involved in lively conversations throughout the town.

Immerse Yourself in Pilgrim Culture

All the town folk have unique stories to tell and are well versed in the history of the settlement as well as subjects like the medical practices and religious beliefs of the times. And don’t worry that your Shakespearean English might not be up to par. Though the settlers all speak in the language of the period, modern English is just fine for visitors (though you may be asked to explain the meaning of modern terms such as “bathroom”).
