Frequently Asked Questions
In the heart of the waterfront along Water Street. Coastal cruise vessels land passengers where the history begins: Pilgrim Memorial State Park and Mayflower II are steps from the gangway.
Yes. Plymouth Rock, Mayflower II, the Pilgrim Hall Museum, Leyden Street and Burial Hill are all walkable from the pier. Only the Plimoth Patuxet Museums on the edge of town require a short ride.
Plymouth Rock under its granite portico, boarding Mayflower II, then the Pilgrim Hall Museum for the original artefacts. Finish with Leyden Street and Burial Hill, which offers one of the finest views over the bay.
That depends on your expectations. The boulder, carved with the date 1620, surprises visitors with its modest size, and park guides recount with humour how it was moved, broken, glued back together and venerated over the centuries. The symbol is the point, not the dimensions.
Yes. This faithful replica of the 1620 ship, rigged as she would have been, lies at the State Pier. On board you grasp the astonishing cramped space of the tween deck where 102 passengers lived during the crossing, and costumed interpreters play sailors and colonists.
Opened in 1824, one of the oldest continuously operating public museums in the country. It holds objects that genuinely belonged to Mayflower passengers: William Bradford's Bible, Myles Standish's sword, cradles, chests. After the replicas on the pier, the effect is striking.
Yes, and increasingly well. Mayflower II guides place the events of 1620 within the world of the Wampanoag people, who had lived on these shores for millennia, and the Pilgrim Hall Museum collections address the consequences of 1620 for the region's nations.
The US dollar, and cards work at the museums, shops and waterfront restaurants. Some cash remains handy for tips.
May through October. Summer is mild and every site is open; autumn brings New England colour and fewer people on the pier. Several attractions close or cut their hours out of season.
Very much so. Boarding Mayflower II, talking with the costumed interpreters and climbing Burial Hill all appeal to children, and the distances stay short. The Plimoth Patuxet Museums outside town take the experience further.
