This place was recommended by a good friend who visited it in 2001 and was quite impressed. The Plimouth Plantation with the re-enactors was what made the experience so good along with their costumes and amenities and actions and manner of speaking all from the 17th century. All of that was still wonderful in 2019.

I met two Massachusetts friends here. We decided on Plymouth instead of the more distant Martha's Vineyard. The weather was sunny mid 70's with little wind. And, the mentioned (online) big crowds were actually small crowds.

Here are the activities of the day:

- Forefather's National Memorial on Allerton Street (the Allertons on the Mayflower are my ancestors)

- Plimouth Grist Mill and adjacent area: this was quite interesting but we got there after the actual twice-a-day milling for the day was completed

- Brewster Garden: very pleasant, peaceful and beautiful park-garden along with Town Brook that powers the Plimouth Grist Mill

- Plymouth Waterfront and Plymouth Rock: countless boats and nice park area along with the rather unimpressive Plymouth Rock itself

- Plimouth Plantation Visitor Center: museum, gift shop, eating places, sitting places

- Plimouth Plantation Wampanoag Homesite: Native Americans in-character show-and-tell how things were done in the 17th century. Raccoon soup. Make a boat from a log by burning rather than chipping.

- Plimouth Plantation Craft Center: Native American craftsmen show-and-tell how they do their work

- Plimouth Plantation Fort: small fort with cannon

- Plimouth Plantation Village: the houses of for each of the Mayflower families on a hill that leads down to the waterfront. In-character re-enactors are in each house and love questions -- and they do a remarkable job of staying in character for the role they each play

- Lunch at Sam's Diego (Mexican): this was a delightful place that is beautifully crafted inside along with good food
