Plimoth Plantation: Reviews from families visiting Plimoth Plantation. One of New England’s best living museums is Plimoth Plantation. An introductory fourteen-minute film will orient you to the museum (located at the visitor center). Budget at least half a day to see this remarkable reproduction of a 1627 Pilgrim village. It is populated by authentically costumed people who play, convincingly, the parts of the residents. Ask them questions about their clothes, their chores, what they do for fun, what they eat, how they survive without indoor plumbing—whatever comes to mind. Hobbamock’s Homesite, comprising a longhouse and a weetu, is interpreted by native Wampanoag guides dressed in traditional garb. Massasoit, the Wampanoag chief, had sent Hobbamock and his family to live near the Pilgrims, to teach them to survive, to translate and interpret, and to keep track of their doings. At the Carriage House Craft enter, artisans re-create crafts using the same materials and many of the same tools that were used in the 1600s. The Nye Rare Breeds Barn features rare and minor breeds of farm animals. Petting of the animals is allowed when the animals are on-site. The best day of the year to visit the plantation is Thanksgiving, of course; call ahead for a meal reservation. The gift shop has a large stock of books about Plymouth and the Pilgrims’ lives and times. Call for the calendar of events and brochures; ask about children’s activities and dining events.
