The Pilgrims established the first permanent English settlement in New England when the Mayflower landed in 1620. Because of its role in American History, Plymouth County continues to be a popular destination.

Plimoth Plantation is a re-creation of the Pilgrims’ settlement in 1627. Associated sites include a crafts center, a Wampanoag Homesite, an indoor exhibit that guides visitors through 3 centuries of Thanksgiving, and the magnificent Mayflower II in Plymouth Harbor.

But Plymouth history is just the beginning of what you will acquire in Plymouth County … the nation’s oldest public museum, wineries, and numerous centuries-old historic houses. Other area exhibits include Edaville USA with summer train rides and, in season, through harvesting cranberry bogs, and the Scituate Lighthouse.
