Plymouth
On one cold, wintry November day, Pilgrims from the Mayflower stepped onto Plymouth Rock and set in motion a chain of events that would change the world forever. With this self-guided audio tour, visit the place where the modern United States was born!
As one of the first permanent English settlements in the “New World”, Plymouth is an essential stop for any history lover. Walk through this historic town, which still retains much of its old-timey charm and historic architecture. Get to know the Pilgrims, the Wampanoag, and learn what life was like in this brand new colony. Learn about Squanto (Tisquantum), Chief Massasoit, and the famous First Thanksgiving. You’ll even have the chance to see a replica of the original Mayflower used to cross the Atlantic!
And, of course, no visit to Plymouth would be complete without stopping by the famous Plymouth Rock. Here, you’ll get the full story on this mythical boulder where the Pilgrims supposedly made landfall (including the controversy which surrounds the rock). If you’re looking to dive into America’s beginnings, look no further than Plymouth, Massachusetts!
