Wonderful changing exhibits. I live in Plymouth and am a Mayflower decendent but I learn something new and surprising every time I visit. Don't miss the lower level and the movie. More

This was a very interesting museum, especially if you are interested in people who arrived on the mayflower. Has a nice little video to watch full of interesting things. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Don't forget to visit the gift store. The cranberry, garlic jelly is very good. More

My kids loved the Pilgrim Hall & all the History. They have a scavenger hunt for the kids ... had a great time looking for things.

This museum is a nice gem. 2 floors, top floor mostly paintings of the Pilgrms, they also have clothing with what the pilgrims probably wore, furniture from that time period, William Brewster chair. Give yourself about an hour to tour it all. More
