"PLYMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS" a Plymouth Travel Page by Pawtuxet

The 1627 village is a wonderful center to experience the life of the early settlers...as well as the part played by the Native Americans. The facilities are excellent..from Orientation to Crafts Center, Nature Walk, homesites, and the more practical eating facilities, etc.
When you first go into the village, you enter the meeting house. You can go up to the 2nd floor for a bird's eye view of the entire village...and keep watch for invaders, indian attack, or pirates!!

One of only a few native North American fruits, the cranberry was an important staple long before the Pilgrims arrived. Native Americans, who referred to cranberries as sassamanash, made cakes prepared with lean dried strips of meat pounded into paste and mixed with animal fat, grains and cranberries. Reffered to as Pemmican, these cakes had an excellent keeping quality and were utilized during long journeys. Later cranberries soon became a vital source of Vitamin C for whalers and a valuable resource to New England residents.
Southeastern Massachusetts embraces its most famous indigenous fruit.

We viewed the MayflowerII yet again. Always fun to look at the boat and imagine it laden with pilgrims for the new world. Not a whole lot of space or comforts, I'm afraid. Lovely looking ship, tho.
