Wonderful Pilgrim artifacts!!! William Bradford's very own Bible as well as many other interesting finds. I have been twice and enjoyed both informational and enlightening trips!
This museum really demonstrates what the pilgrims experienced upon their arrival to America's shore. The 15 minute video to start your visit is a MUST. Many Americans think our history began in the late 1700's but this brings you back more than a hundred years more than that. What a great thing to experience.
I thought I knew about the Pilgrims and their place in American history, but this museum was an eye-opener for me. Extensive collection of artifacts and documents from the time the Pilgrims arrived, with detailed and updated/re-interpreted explanations of their history and contributions to American life. For anyone at all interested in American history and the past's influence on the future, this is a "must-see."
This museum was full of interesting information on the Pilgrims. Who they were, why they set sail on the Mayflower and what happened to them once they landed at Plymouth. I really enjoyed it. It is a beautiful building. Not very large, you could probably see everything in less than two hours.
It was amazing to see actual items from the Mayflower (shoe, hat, spoon, and cradle). Items of the period are expertly displayed. A few films offer detailed experiences of our early settlers. A must visit in Plymouth.
Horrible rainy day in Plymouth so we decided to go to the museum, wonderful idea. Learnt a great deal about the history and the deeds of these brave people and their ability to adapt and eventually flourish in a new land.
Great to see pilgrims history and artifacts. The video was well done and informative.It was raining the day we were there. Drove to the monument where Plymouth rock is. it is not accessible. You can touch a piece that is in the museum. (the rock has a long history that is interesting)
The Pilgrim Hall Museum is " the oldest continuously operating public museum in the country and America’s museum of Pilgrim possessions". A small museum, where you can find a lot out about the lives of the Pilgrims ... very interesting! You can see the whole thing in less than an hour, but don't miss the movie downstairs ... very well done, and informative. Great place to go on a rainy day (as it was the day we were there, but don't miss it even on a nice day). Free parking out back.
Full of early american Plymouth belongings. A brief historical film presentation. For all decendants of Mayflower passengers, it is a "must see".
Centrally located, easy to navigate, nice gift shop, educational. It was interesting for those who enjoy historical information.
