Description
Spend a full day exploring America's Hometown! This private day trip from Boston brings the story of the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag to life through historic sites, hands-on experiences, and living history that the whole family can enjoy. Begin your adventure overlooking beautiful Plymouth Harbor, where you'll discover the story of the Pilgrims' difficult first winter and visit the hilltop resting place of many of Plymouth Colony's earliest settlers. See the statue honoring Massasoit, the Wampanoag leader whose alliance with the Pilgrims played an important role in the colony's survival, before heading down to the waterfront to see one of America's most famous landmarks: Plymouth Rock. Next, climb aboard the Mayflower II, a full-scale reproduction of the ship that carried the Pilgrims across the Atlantic. Explore the decks, see the tiny spaces where passengers lived during the voyage, and imagine spending more than two months crossing the ocean with your entire family! Continue through historic Plymouth to the working Plimoth Grist Mill, where kids and adults can discover how water power was used to turn corn into flour. Then enjoy some free time for lunch, shopping, and a stroll along Plymouth's beautiful waterfront. After lunch, it's time for the main event: Plimoth Patuxet Museums! Step into the 1600s as history comes alive around you. Explore the 17th-Century English Village and Historic Patuxet Homesite, meet interpreters, enter traditional homes, and discover how people cooked, farmed, fished, raised animals, made tools, and handled the challenges of everyday life more than 400 years ago. With a full 8-hour private tour, there's plenty of time to explore, ask questions, and experience Plymouth without feeling rushed. Combining famous landmarks, fascinating stories, interactive exhibits, and living history, this is an unforgettable way for kids and adults alike to experience the story of Plymouth.
