    Plymouth Rock - The building housing the rock

    Plymouth Rock

    (213 reviews)

    I mean yeah it's small but it's a part of history....I think. I heard a local say it's not the…read moreoriginal rock but a replica.... Anyway it's right at the water and you can see other landmarks within walking distance. They have a community map posted so you can see where you're at. There is video surveillance at the rock so they take it seriously. Free to see and there is street parking if you can find a space, even in the winter it was full.

    Let's be honest Plymouth Rock is probably one of the most famously underwhelming landmarks in…read moreAmerica. And yet... you've got to go see it. Yes, it's just a rock. A relatively small one at that, engraved with "1620" and sitting behind a protective railing like it's the crown jewels. But what it lacks in physical grandeur, it makes up for in historical and cultural weight. You're looking at a symbol not of a single event but of an entire mythology that shaped a country. Here's what stood out: The Rock Itself It's surprisingly humble--weather-worn, cracked, and modest. Some will say it's a letdown. But for those who take a moment to pause, there's something powerful about standing in front of a symbol that's been argued over, protected, and remembered for centuries. Surrounding Area Pilgrim Memorial State Park is clean, well-maintained, and offers gorgeous views of Plymouth Harbor. The flowers are in bloom, interpretive signs help tell the real story (including the messy parts), and statues like William Bradford's add deeper historical context. Photos? Sure. Perspective? Even Better. It might not wow your Instagram followers, but you don't come to Plymouth Rock for spectacle. You come for reflection. And maybe a chuckle or two that something this small could mean so much to a whole country. Final Word: Plymouth Rock is less about the rock itself and more about what we choose to see when we look at it. Go for the history, stay for the perspective and maybe grab a photo with Governor Bradford while you're at it. #PlymouthRock #PilgrimMemorialPark #HistoryInStone #SmallButMighty #PlymouthMA #AmericanOrigins #It'sTheLittleThings #PuddingCreekTrestleApproved

    Plimoth Grist Mill

    Plimoth Grist Mill

    Stopped in here at the tail end of our visit to Plymouth and really enjoyed the demonstration. Our…read moreson was invited up to help turn the dials and the staff did a great job explaining how the mill works. Really neat to see the recreation.

    If you're getting a combination pass with the Plimoth Plantation, it's not bad to come over here,…read morebut I wouldn't recommend $8.95 just to visit this place alone. Since I bought a weekend pass and was going to take advantage of that, I came on a Saturday and Sunday. One good feature is there was a lot of parking on the road it's on. It's not walkable from the museum/village, but it is walkable for the Mayflower II so if you'd like to see that, parking near the mill is great since no meters and a lot of parking both times I went. It's also right near a lot of shops/restaurants, so if it's a stop along your path, you can find other things to do in the area. Only one of the days at one time (Saturday around 2 pm) was the mill actually going for a demonstration, so aim for this. Any other time they might talk about how the mill works, but that's not as exciting, so check the say schedule. Not that grinding corn is super engaging, but it's interesting to see how the large stones and wheel combo going. Downstairs, you could see where the ground corn came out with another worker describing the process. On Sunday, the wheel wasn't going at all, but downstairs they had a small demo about how a recipe using the ground corn was traditionally made, and they sell what they make in the gift store. It probably will take 30 minutes to an hour of your time depending on what time you come. If you bought the combination pass, it's a nice addition, but it's not worth it for just this on its own.

    Plymouth 9/11 Memorial

    Plymouth 9/11 Memorial

    What makes this impressive memorial even more impressive is that it was built with private funds,…read moreand it reportedly was the first monument to bear the names of every single person killed on 9/11 -- in New York, Shanksville, and at the Pentagon. It features seven black granite slabs engraved with the names - the police, the firefighters, the office workers, the flight crews and the airline passengers. There is also a 9/11 steel beam and figures of a firefighter and police officer. It was dedicated on September 11, 2004 and was created by local businessman Richard J. Quintal, Jr. In fact, the memorial is located at his produce store on South Spooner Street. Quintal was so deeply affected by 9/11 that he took out a mortgage to fund the lion's share of the $85,000 cost. The shortfall came from private donations. It's a spectacular sight. The plaza also includes ten flagpoles with all sorts of flags, including one for each branch of the armed services. There is a gorgeous etching of the pre-9/11 skyline prominently showing the Twin Towers, there is a quote from Mayor Giuliani about courage and patriotism and freedom, and there are benches to sit and reflect. By the way, what did Mr. Quintal, Jr. do to mark the tenth anniversary of 9/11 Day? He had a tattoo of the towers inked onto his arm.

    Hedge House

    The Hedge House is a historical landmark @ 126 Water St., next to the Plymouth Visitors Center…read more It was originally built on Court St. by sea captain William Hammatt in 1809. It was subsequently purchased in 1830 by Thomas Hedge, one of Plymouth's early industrialists & entrepreneurs. His family lived there until 1918 when the last family member died. The home was almost demolished to make way for Memorial Hall, but was saved by the Plymouth Antiquarian Society, which is dedicated to preserving historic houses and landmarks, & moved to its current location. From 2002-2007 the Hedge House underwent an extensive restoration & was brought back to its original pristine condition. It is a fine example of Federal period architecture, & the original Carriage House still stands. Interior rooms, some of which are octagonal, display 19th century American furnishings, paintings, textiles, & toys. The Rose T. Briggs Memorial Garden fills the side & back yards with beautiful perennials in full bloom. The museum is open June - August, Wednesday - Sunday, 2pm to 6pm. The vast front lawn is the last piece of open green space on the Plymouth Waterfront. The Plymouth Antiquarian Society envisions a community venue that will be in place by 2020, in time for the 400th Anniversary of the Pilgrims' Landing on Plymouth Rock. An effort is underway to raise the necessary funds.

    From the owner: The 1809 Hedge House features period wallpaper and furnishings.read more
