Plimoth Village

Plimoth Rock

The Mayflower II. The ship is a recreation and shows how small and crowded the conditions were. There were 102 people and with animals as well it was very crowded.

This is the inside of an Indian home (tent) made of wood, mat and bark.
Exterior of the Indain home. The bark is purchased from lumber yards in the area and has to be replaced as needed usually every ten years. Pieces may have to be changed as needed but at the end of the ten years they burn them down and move to a new location.

This is Plimoth village as it would have been in the 17th century.

These ladies are in period dress. They speak and work in that period also. Here they are gathering droppings for fertilizer for the crops.
