Plimoth Patuxet

Plymouth, Plimoth? In the 17th century, spelling was whatever you felt like. We visited the Plimoth Patuxet Museums and saw a 1627 New England village and Wampanoag village. The kids loved meeting "Pilgrims."

Inside one of the one-room homes. It's a studio apartment!
The first Pilgrim we met was Goodwife Mary Winslow. Of the 120 people who arrived on the Mayflower, half of them died that winter, including both her parents.
Some of the onion was left to go to seed. All the plants in the gardens were brought over from England.
The boys got invited to help saw firewood. They were terrible at it.
A real black bear fur and the Wampanoag version of a baby Bjorn.
Inside a wetu, or a winter home. The beds lining the walls are covered in furs.
