Things To Do

#HomeTownUSA Plymouth Colony (or Plantation), the second permanent English settlement in North America, was founded in 1620 by settlers including a group of religious dissenters commonly referred to as the Pilgrims. Though theologically very similar to the Puritans who later founded the Massachusetts Bay Colony, the Pilgrims believed that the Church of England could not be reformed. Rather than attempting to purify the church, the Pilgrims desired a total separation. Below we have listed out a few recommendations on where to eat in Duxbury and Plymouth. We have also provided a few ideas of things to do in Plymouth.

Plymouth Rock -- its a bit anticlimactic #justarock #noteventhatbig

Water Street, Plymouth, MA

Plymouth Rock is a glacial erratic boulder located in Pilgrim Memorial State Park in Plymouth Harbor. The rock is an iconic symbol of the pilgrims and the faith and courage of the people who made the historic voyage from England to the New World, where they founded the first colony in New England. It is widely believed that Plymouth Rock, a 10-ton massive stone, was the stepping stone pilgrims used to disembark from the tall ship on the shore of the New World, but there is no historical evidence supporting this. The rock was found and identified as a symbolic stepping stone 121 years after the arrival of the Mayflower based on a story told by Thomas Fauce, whose father was one of the pilgrims. Whatever the historic facts, more than a million people visit the rock every year, giving tribute to the symbol of freedom it has become.
