Plymouth Colony comes to life in our recreation of early Plymouth, complete with timber-framed houses furnished with reproductions of the types of objects that the Pilgrims owned, aromatic kitchen gardens, and heritage breeds livestock. At The Patuxet Homesite, learn about the Indigenous heritage of the 17th-century lifeways of a culture that continues to thrive today. At the Craft Center, located in close proximity to the 17th-Century English Village, you will learn from a variety of skilled artisans and museum historians. Mayflower is an iconic symbol of freedom. Of the hundreds of ships that made the transatlantic crossing in the 1600s, she is the ship we remember. At our reproduction of the Plymouth Colonists’ original 1636 grain mill on Town Brook, take a fascinating look at the mill’s history and workings, from the 200-year-old millstones grinding corn to the ecology of the brook that has powered mills throughout the centuries.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids on this tour? Thinking about gifting it to my nephew who's 10.

A: There’s no strict age limit for the tour, but kids definitely need to be at least 6 to fully enjoy and understand the experience. Your 10-year-old nephew will probably have a blast exploring the Plimoth Patuxet Museum and learning about the Pilgrims! It’s educational and fun, plus there's a lot of hands-on stuff in the Craft Center.

Q: What kind of clothes should I wear? Is it outdoors a lot?

A: Definitely dress for the weather! Since a big part of the experience is outdoors, wear comfortable shoes and layers in case it gets chilly. The museum has some indoor parts, but walking around the village might be a little muddy if it rained recently. A hat and sunscreen are great ideas too, especially in summer!

Q: Are there options to reschedule if something comes up after I buy the tickets?

A: Yes! You can reschedule up to 24 hours before your tour without a fee. Just reach out to the provider, and they'll help you find another time that works. They’re pretty flexible, which is great if plans change!

Just did the Plimoth Patuxet tour! Here’s my take!

I recently took the Best of Boston Small Group Tour to the Plimoth Patuxet Museum, and wow, what an experience! The reenactors were amazing, especially the ones in the English Village. You really feel like you've stepped back in time. I loved learning about the Mayflower too. The ride from Boston was comfortable, and the guide was super knowledgeable. Highly recommend this for history buffs or anyone looking for a fun day out!

Considering gifting the Plimoth Patuxet tour - worth it?

Thinking about getting this experience for my parents' anniversary. They love history, and this seems like a unique outing! Just curious how long the whole tour usually takes and if it’s suitable for older folks. Don’t want them to struggle but think they'd enjoy it!
