Things To Do
Plymouth Rock
Come see the rock that started it all! Have you ever wanted to look at a piece of granite and think, "Is that... it?" Well, now you can! Join thousands of tourists annually in the time-honored tradition of peering over a railing to see a rock that looks suspiciously like every other rock, except this one has a fence around it and a date carved into it like a high schooler’s desk.
Plimoth Patuxet Museums
An immersive living history museum where you can walk through a 17th-century English Village and the Historic Patuxet Homesite. Costumed roleplayers and Indigenous educators explain what life was like in the 1620s.
Plymouth Public House
Plymouth Public House is a vibrant American gastropub that perfectly blends rustic-chic style with a welcoming, community vibe. As the closest local favorite to our wedding venue, it’s a convenient hub for guests to gather throughout the weekend. We highly recommend their elevated comfort classics—the bacon-wrapped meatloaf and bourbon-marinated steak tips are excellent—though you can’t go wrong with their signature burgers and pizzas. Whether you’re stopping in for a relaxed lunch or a late-night celebratory drink, it offers a wonderful taste of coastal charm.
Brewster Gardens
For a peaceful stroll through Plymouth’s history, be sure to visit Brewster Gardens. Located right in the heart of downtown, this scenic park sits on the original site of the Pilgrims’ first garden plots. You can follow the winding, paved paths along the Town Brook as it flows toward the historic Jenney Grist Mill, or simply take a moment to admire the lush greenery and the Pilgrim Maiden statue. It’s the perfect, tranquil spot to enjoy some fresh air and classic New England charm between wedding festivities.
Mayflower Brewing Company
For a taste of local history in a glass, head over to Mayflower Brewing Company, a craft microbrewery that celebrates Plymouth’s heritage with every pour. Founded by a descendant of the Mayflower’s own beer barrel cooper, the brewery is famous for its award-winning Porter and the New World IPA. The taproom offers a relaxed, family-and-pet-friendly atmosphere where you can grab a flight, enjoy some live music on the weekends, or catch a local food truck. It’s a great spot to kick back and toast to the weekend with "America’s Hometown" brews.
