Plimouth Plantation

Plimouth Plantation ranks 7th on the list of best museums to visit in Boston. Plimouth Plantation, a living history museum, recreates the first Pilgrim settlement in North America, which began in 1620, shortly after the English immigrants disembarked from the Mayflower. You can buy tickets and go on your own, or you can join a small-group day trip from Boston to Plimouth Plantation. When you visit, you can immerse yourself in a historically authentic village complete with rough-hewn cabins, simple furnishings, and farm animals similar to those brought by the Pilgrims.

The best part, however, is meeting skilled role-player actors dressed in historically accurate clothing who portray the real people who settled here - Edward Winslow, Susanna Fuller White, William Bradford, and other English settlers. As you explore this re-created 17th-century village overlooking the water, ask them questions and they'll tell you about their lives and culture. You will also meet and learn about the culture of traditional-dressed descendants of the native Wampanoag people who helped the Pilgrims survive.
