The 10 Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Plymouth, Massachusetts (MA)
It's no wonder that the Pilgrims fell in love with America when they landed at gorgeous Plymouth, set in the calm waters of Plymouth Harbor along Cape Cod Bay. It was here that the first English colonists made war and then peace with the Natives, celebrating their newfound cooperation with the first Thanksgiving dinner. Visit the landmarks that honor this piece of American history, from Plymouth Rock to Mayflower II to Burial Hill. Or just enjoy the sandy beaches and calm sea breeze.

Built by the son of Pilgrim John and Elizabeth Tilley Howland. The pilgrims actually stayed here during the winter months. Well restored building with many period artifacts and a nice tour. Very reasonable with a small but reasonably priced gift shop. Nice hand dipped candles!

Today we brought two kindergarten classes to their first planetarium experience. We could not have been more thrilled. The program was an hour long and geared perfectly for very curious young minds. The children were captivated. Mr. Davies who has taught high school for many years has carefully adapted this first time experience for the very young learner. The children were allowed to participate and they really learned quite a bit. We returned to our classroom and the students begged to learn more. they wrote in their science journals and everyone of the students had clearly been listening. it was a great experience for children and adults alike.

Lovely docent tour for just $5 for AAA members and/or seniors. Otherwise just $7. About 45 minutes to learn the house history of this beautiful home. While there we met 12th generations of the Brewster heritage quite by accident who only learned of their heritage from a genelogy search. Tour are seasonal until October and run on the hour opens at 11AM. Up the hill from Plymouth Rock that have 10 minute tours and by the National Site near where the Mayflower was there are park ranger tours 3x a day.11,2 and 4 PM which are free.
