Plimoth Patuxet Museums highlights

Wampanoag Homesite – step into a recreation of a 17th-century Wampanoag family summer and winter home. Historical interpreters will demonstrate the indigenous cultures and daily life related to historic Patuxet, the Wampanoag community that lived in this region. You can ask them about family life, seasonal cooking, traditional plant remedies, or boat-building techniques.

17th-Century English Village – a recreation of the small farming community built by colonists adjacent to the Wampanoag Homesite. You'll wander through tiny timber-framed houses and their gardens, see rare breeds, and mingle with the townspeople of Plymouth Colony. The people you'll meet here are 17th-century characters and modern-day guides. Ask about religious beliefs, cooking and medicinal habits, and relationships with the Native people nearby. The 17th-century English Village offers unobstructed views of Cape Cod Bay, giving the whole experience even more authenticity.

Mayflower II - this striking tall ship, originally built in 1957 to match the exact style of the ship that brought the Pilgrims to the shores of historic Patuxet in 1620, has finally returned to Massachusetts and is yours to discover after an extensive restoration project. This unique educational resource gives unparalleled insight into the history of the area 400 years ago and is of such historical significance that it has been given a prestigious designation on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
