Plimoth Plantation
Plimoth Plantation is located in Plymouth, Massachusetts.
Which is about 40 miles southeast of Boston.
Plymouth is most known for Plymouth Rock, pilgrims, and Native people. Plimoth Plantation is spelled differently because it is named in the traditional speak of the English colonists at the time of Plimoth Plantation's founding.
According to Plimoth Plantation's website, "Plimoth Plantation is a not-for-profit museum supported by admissions, contributions, grants and generous volunteers."
These volunteers work in gift shops, run tours, and perform in the Colonial village as English colonists. The Wampanoag (the tribe whose relatives have resided in present-day Plymouth) people in the Wampanoag village are real Wampanoag people. These men and women do not recreate scenes like the English colonists, but rather speak in present tense and tell stories of life in Plimoth Plantation as well as share their traditions and culuture with visitors.
