    Great experience!! Will Revisit in the Future
    Today my family and I went on the walking tour. We were on a three day trip and this was the last activity we did. It was by far the BEST experience we had during our entire trip. Even my eight year old son enjoyed the walking, site-seeing, and retained some of the information from the tour. Our tour guide Leo was amazing. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable about the history of the Plymouth, the pilgrims, Native Americans and the town but he was delightfully funny as well. Despite the rainy and cold weather, He kept a smile on our face the entire time! His wife, Nancy, was very sweet. As we were trying to figure out where to go for dinner, she went out of her way to go through documents she had to find us menus of different restaurants around town. The tour was not rushed and you definitely get your moneys worth! Leo knows so much about the history of Plymouth, he has even wrote a book that I purchased in the gift shop. It is a wonderful read and short enough that I finished it the same day. Leo also is invited all over the country to speak because of his work. He and his wife give you a warm welcoming feeling of home. They both are well known in the town because of their likable personalities and themed attire, that locals kept smiling when they would see them. DON'T MISS OUT on this special spot seriously. I would definitely recommend going ...even if you think you already know a lot about the pilgrims and the history of Plymouth, Leo will tell you something you didn't know with all of his fun facts! As for my family and I, we will be revisiting when we can. Love all the way from Florida.

    One of the Best Tours We've Ever Been On
    This was one of the best tours we have ever been on. Leo brought everything to life and was incredibly informative about the lives of those who came to Plymouth. Highly recommend it for families as our 9 & 12 year olds enjoyed it as much as we did.

    Eye Opening Tour celebrating the principles our nation was founded upon
    Leo, Nancy and the team at The Jenney Museum are rich in spirit, character, knowledge. Accurately packaging and conveying history and truth is their passion and it shows. We were captivated and amazed at the depth and wealth of knowledge Leo shared. Go on a guided tour. You will get tons more out of your visit and likely will retain the significance of the information longer. We did the 1.5 hr walking tour of Plymouth in the morning with Leo and the 1 hr Monument to the Forefathers in the afternoon. I grew up in CT and never knew the Monument to the Forefathers existed. It wasn't til Kirk Cameron and Patriot Academy highlighted it and the Jenney Museum that we worked a trip around a visit to include these landmarks. This monument and city's heritage hold the keys to the greatness of our nation. The Forefathers Monument is the matrix of liberty, the secret sauce, the blueprint which led to the formation of the greatest nation on earth. Let's get back to those foundations adn precepts again and watch our nation prosper! Our public school history and civics education don't do our history justice and the Christian foundations of our nations have been erased in textbooks/education. Leo unpacks the truth from primary documents that you likely didn't read about it your school history textbooks, blends it with anecdotal stories to bring the information alive. This group is sold out to share the precepts, systems, and Biblical concepts our great nation was founded upon. You would be remiss not to schedule a tour and visit to the museum.

    Amazing and educational (and a lot of fun😀)!
    Our family (myself, my wife and our 4 children ages 11-18) did the Historic Plymouth tour with Leo yesterday.we had high expectations and we were NOT disappointed! What an amazing, entertaining and educational way to spend a morning! We saw way more than we expected and learned more than we could have imagined. Leo involved and engaged everyone, right down to our youngest daughter. As a homeschooling family, we could not recommend a tour with Leo through the Jenner Museum more! We will be telling all of our friends and family about this experience!

    Only at the Jenney
    Our family of 7 absolutely loved this tour. We enjoyed the scenic walk through the city as we learned details about the Pilgrims that aren’t in text books. It was an emotional experience hearing about their strength and seeing the actual place they landed. I’m so thankful that we did this tour. It added so much to our trip.

    Take this tour!!!!
    This tour is a must. Leo's ability to inform in such an interesting and humorous way is phenomenal. Our 7 year old and 12 year old granddaughters were just as fascinated with Leo's stories as my husband and I were. We all learned so much in such an entertaining environment. Do not pass up this opportunity.

    This tour was a privilege not to be missed!
    Leo is a living legend, a true gem, we were sorry when our tour ended! It was a privilege to be given a tour by an historian who was able to bring Plymouth colony and the Pilgrims to life in such detail it was as if he knew them personally. This is not a boring classroom lecture right out of a textbook. It was full of details about their daily lives, the struggles to survive and the stories we were not taught in school. As a descendant of two Mayflower families, I very much appreciated Leo’s knowledge of each Pilgrim individually. It was humbling to be able to walk in their footsteps where they lived, worked, raised the families that eventually led to my own and so many others. Leo did an amazing job of describing the strength required and the hardships endured by the colonists as they set down the roots that helped build this country. Do not miss this tour while in Plymouth if you really want to learn about it’s history and not the mainstream story you were fed in grade school. Thank you Leo!!

    Fantastic! You have GOT to take these tours!
    We visited last week and took both tours offered. The Plymouth's History walking tour and the Forefathers Monument tour were phenomenal! I honestly cannot express the depth and meaning behind the information and perspective provided through these tours. Leo was a fantastic historian and guide, and the gift shop they have at the museum has so many wonderful books it was hard to choose which to purchase! Please take the time to do both tours. You will not be disappointed or come away without learning a thing or two at minimum!

    Wonderful Tours at The Jenny
    We explored Plymouth for historical markers, statues, and monuments. We also read the text on the markers, statues, and monuments. But got the history of their culture, life, and society from tours with Leo from thejenny.org. He had a knowledge of how things unfolded in the lives of those who became known as Pilgrims. He knew unique details of their lives and their histories. The things that made those fifty-one people so successful in fulfilling their goals. These were my forefathers and mothers. The reasons for a monument to the single women and another for the mothers. A monument to the local native Indian who became their interpreter. I have a much better understanding of their struggles during their first few years. I learned the answer to why and how they had a good relationship with the Indians who lived near them. But learning of their extreme dedication to their biblical worldview was the most key to understanding their character. I highly recommend the tours at TheJenny.org. Leo provided essential elucidation of the Pilgrim’s life and experience. May God continue to bless the efforts and work of The-Jenny.

    Amazing
    Leo Martin has a wonderful museum and store to complement his fantastic storytelling, recounting the history of the pilgrims. Be ready to learn from Mr. Martin and from the lessons these courageous souls left us. We highly recommend any and all of the tours.

Our high school seniors from American Christian School in New Jersey traveled to Plymouth on a senior class trip to celebrate the 400th Anniversary of the first Thanksgiving. This tour and our incredible tour guide Leo was one of the main highlights of our adventure.. We had about 15 teenagers with us, and he managed to keep everyone so engaged and really made the immersion of history exciting!!! We all learned so much from the tour and also the videos and displays! I recommend this tour to everyone who comes to the area- regardless of age / education level!!! Amazing experience!!

We loved our tour of Plymouth with Mr. Leo. He was engaging, entertaining, and most of all informative of the TRUE history of the pilgrims. He quoted from primary sources. I wish every American could take this tour of Plymouth with Mr. Leo. It was very enlightening and encouraging.

I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this museum and this tour. It was one of our favorites, and one of our children’s favorites as well. The museum is very well done and extremely informative. The tour guide was PHENOMENAL and we are honored to have met him. We would highly recommend to anyone visiting the Plymouth area, especially if you are interested in the truthful historical aspects of our first settlers and our founding fathers.
