The Plymouth Colony and Plymouth Rock

On a very cool day we decided to journey to Plymouth.  This is a very big deal like going to Disney Land or Williamsburg  You can make it an all day thing.  It's supposed to be an hour south by car but there's always traffic.












A nice pond by the Visitor Center.





There's a movie that explains the re-creation.  All of these people are enactors.  They might be retired school teachers, or actors or historians.  They know the history and they speak in the dialog of the time.





He is telling the story of making a canoe out of a log.















This woman knew all about corn and insects and everything that went on back then.  She could talk for hours.











Here is Ed in the top of the fort where there were at least 4 cannons.






This is another enactor.








Dancing with the tourists.





Another character.  Everyone was very dirty.  The place was very grimy and dusty and can you imagine wearing all those clothes when it's over 80?  Let alone 90?






































































This is Plymouth Rock.  The reason for the bars is that the tide comes up and would leave flotsom and jetsom around the rock.








This is a pavillion built atop the rock.
