• Plimoth Patuxet Museums - Embark on a journey 400 years into the past! Experience living history, not just a reenactment, in our recreation of the early English Pilgrim settlement (17th-Century English Village). Discover the Indigenous heritage of the Northeast from contemporary interpreters whose ancestors have lived here for over 12,000 years at the Historic Patuxet Homesite.

For your enjoyment, a café in the Visitor Center offers both 17th-century and modern favorites. To commemorate your visit, explore a wide variety of Plimoth artisan-made and local New England items available in four retail shops.

Visit during America’s 250th Anniversary - Revolutionary Ideas Started Here! Understanding the late 18th-century is impossible without its 17th-century (and earlier!) beginnings. Come and learn about the historical roots of the United States’ social, economic, and political systems, where the ideas of self-government are embodied in the Mayflower Compact.

We look forward to welcoming you! Safe travels.

• Plimoth Grist Mill - A STEM and History program for all ages!
  Located in historic downtown Plymouth, just a short walk from the waterfront through Brewster Gardens, is the Plimoth Grist Mill. This working reproduction of the mill built by Pilgrim John Jenney, situated in its original location along Town Brook, offers insights into the operations of the water-powered mill and the ecology of Town Brook.

For baking enthusiasts, the retail store offers freshly stone-ground cornmeal and Sampe (Grits).

On Saturday afternoons, the millstones are operational, while on other days, the millers prepare the cornmeal by sifting, winnowing, and readying the stones for the next run. Try your hand at milling with the immersive exhibits in the lower exhibit of the mill.

You can choose to visit this location on the same day as Plimoth Patuxet or on a different day during the 2025 season.

See you soon!

• Mayflower II - Step aboard and experience what the 1620 crossing was like for the Pilgrims. Docked at the picturesque Plymouth Harbor, the Mayflower (U.S. National Register of Historic Places) serves as a floating museum. Modern-day guides are available to enhance your experience, sharing stories about 1620 and the history of the Mayflower.
