Others to Consider: Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Old Statehouse Museum, National Heritage Museum, Charles River Museum of Industry & Innovation, The Mapparium: Mary Baker Eddy LibraryA living-history museum that re-creates the 1627 Plymouth community. Meet Governor William Bradford, Mistress Hopkins, and other members of the community as they go about their daily lives. Best for ages 3 and up.
Plymouth offers a number of historic venues. A stroll down Route 3A in Plymouth by the bay brings you by the shops 'Ye Olde Towne Crier,' and 'John Alden Gift Shop' - fitting names for Plymouth, a South Shore town that still remembers its start as Plimoth Plantation. Nearby, a pair of visitor shops are housed in old-New England, gray structures reminescent of the colonists' early dwellings.
Not too far from these shops the Mayflower II, a replica of the infamous ship, rocks in the bay. The original Mayflower brought 102 passengers to Plymouth in 1620 where they set up a new home. They were religious Separatists from Holland and England and were originally headed further south - their destination was believed to be Hudson Bay - but they settled in what would become Massachusetts instead.
Plymouth Rock, with the date 1620 engraved on it, is located just steps away from Mayflower II. Story has it that when the Pilgrims first landed in Plymouth, they stepped on this rock. Atop a hill behind Plymouth Rock, the Plymouth Wax Museum offers visitors a history lesson. Further down the street from the Mayflower II and the wax museum is Plimoth Village - probably the town's biggest attraction. The outdoor living museum is staffed with actors dressed in period outfits re-enact the days and lives of the setters of Plimoth Plantation.

Plymouth Plantation - Review, Mon 4 Jun 2007
We went to Plymouth Plantation in April of 2007 for school vacation for NH it wasn't very busy and the weather was perfect. I had in tow my 8yrs old, 6 yrs old and even my 3 yrs old. They had fun time listening to the pilgrims and the Indiians in there conversations on how they work and how they made clothes. They are asking when they can go back. I recommend going off season. Since I can't remember it from when I was there as a child it was worth it for all of us.
