Plimoth Patuxet and Mayflower II Combination Ticket
Discover this living museum, featuring homesites, historically accurate recreations, and some rare-breed animals too.
What you'll do
History comes alive at Plimoth Patuxet Museums. Explore an authentic 17th-century New England settlement where you will meet the Pilgrims and experience historic Patuxet where indigenous living history educators will teach you about the homeland of the region’s Native people.
Sights, sounds, and smells will transport you back in time. You'll walk into Pilgrim houses, touch objects, and chat with role players who are each based on a real person who lived in the Plymouth colony. At the Wampanoag Homesite exhibit in historic Patuxet, modern indigenous people will invite you to learn about their ancestors’ lives through summer and winter houses, crafts, gardening, and cooking. It truly feels like taking a step back in time.
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.
