June 25, 2012- Plimoth Plantation

Plimoth Plantation, Plymouth, MA

Today we toured a museum in Plymouth, MA based on how Thanksgiving began and learned about the relationship between the Pilgrims and the Wapanoag Indians.
We got to see how the Indians lived in the 1600s and the beginning of
the village that the Pilgrims lived in. The village had goats,
turkeys, and roosters walking around.  We got to feed the goats!
After we were finished, we drove to Plimouth to see the Plymouth Rock
and the replica of the Mayflower ship. The replica was brought to
America in June 1957 with 130 passengers - WOW! Plymouth Rock was next
to the Mayflower so we walked over to see it. The rock had stone
columns and fences surrounding it. It also had "1620" engraved on it
since that is the year the Pilgrims came to America. Today was fun! I
look forward to learning more history this week!
