Had cousins in from Oregon. This Museum was recently renovated and enlarged. Just a fabulous place, with videos playing in different rooms, authentic furniture and artifacts from the 1600's to the early 1900's. My cousins were very impressed and so was I, and I'm a resident.

This is the longest running museum in the US. It is very worth going there. Friendly staff, research library, great information about the pilgrams. They have a piece of the Plymouth Rock in the museum that you can touch.

If you want the history, go to this museum. Impressive. You will learn that you did not know the whole story.

The pilgrim museum is very interesting- not exciting but informative and myth busting- worth the time- and supports their continued operation
