The town of Plymouth, Mass., is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the New England region, with more than a dozen attractions including Plymouth Rock, a full-scale replica of the Mayflower, a re-creation of the Pilgrims’ 1627 settlement, the nation’s oldest public museum, a reconstructed 1636 grist mill and six historic houses. Since many sites are within easy walking distance of each other, you may enjoy the leisurely pace of a do-it-yourself walking tour.
Located beneath an elegant portico in Pilgrim Memorial State Park on the waterfront, Plymouth Rock is the symbolic stepping stone from the Old World to the new.
