Their 17th century journey can be experienced today with a visit to the Mayflower to Captain Peter Aren Stan. Our ship is a reproduction ship that was built in the 19 fifties. There was a cooperation between then just founded for implantation remaining war Charlton in England. He was thinking of Mayflower in terms of a grand thank you just to the American people after World War Two on the scale of the Statue of Liberty. Step on this ship, and you can't help but wonder what it was like for the 102 people who spent two months on that voyage. So welcome aboard Mayflower to Thank you Way have probably 200,000 visitors a year, maybe more every year. Come aboard Mayflower. Almost everyone's first common is what a small ship that have come across the ocean 16 years, really small with a day? No, no further. At that time, it was a midsize American ship. But for modern times, of course, when you think of the cruise liners today, this is a tiny first thing I noticed there's no helm on the half depth that's because all the steering is down below. They call this the whip staff, and this was the system for steering in the early 17th century. It's essentially a lever that runs through the deck to the tiller down below. So the helmsman would stand here, an officer of the watch or the master would give a command to the helmsman so the ship would move based on which way this whip staff is being manipulated. Just like Plimoth Plantation, Mayflower to is a living history museum with people playing characters from 16 20. Like Dorothy, the servant of Governor John Carver, it's been very difficult, for I will not tell, you know different. And how was the passage across? It was terrible for anybody. What was kept below decks, which was generally all of us. We were transported very much as goods or chattel before daring. Really. Ships that are meant to carry people comfortably was dark, and it was wet and seasickness pretty rampant amongst everyone. The great cabin, the captain's quarters, is quite spacious in comparison, although the bunks appear deceptively small, those air actually over six feet long bunks, and they're very narrow because it's see you don't want a big, wide bed that you roll around and fall out of, so it looks small. But it's really not so small. For those looking for Colonial charm with more comfortable quarters, check out the John Carver in owner Bill Catania says the in captures the flavour of Plymouth, the whole feel of the hotel we've started down and knock in the hearth and kettle to be out would in a post and beam to make it look authentic. You know, Pilgrim days, we have some pictures in the rooms of some of the scenes. Maybe we try to use furniture that looks more like antique date period pieces. You have to have the modern features, so we have flat screen TVs, high definition in every room. The N continues the theme with its Plymouth Rock hot tub and May flowers lines. And on the ceiling of the beach plum spots are the stars astronomically accurate to the day the pilgrim stepped on. Plymouth Rock boasts Catania. Vion was built in 1969 on the site of the original Pilgrim settlement. Involving listen, the killer is Burial hill, where the pilgrims on went in, buried there. They're dead at night t protect them from the Indians because they were afraid that they would know that the numbers were dropping. Catania, whose family also owns to resort properties on Cape Cod, is trying to get Mawr locals to come visit Plymouth. Some people go in any Plymouth Rock, go to the cape, go summarizing. I want to see Plymouth in three hours. He's been called a couple days here easily, really appreciate those who do really love it. Perhaps no trip to Plymouth is complete without a stop at Plimoth Plantation on Thursdays, visitors can learn some history and pick up some fresh produce at the Plymouth Farmers Market Manager Barbara England. It's a very well rounded view of what's happening in farming in our community by coming to the plantation, seeing the exhibits from the past and the rare breeds in the heirloom seeds, and then also being able to feed your family and pick up groceries and, you know, connect with the present farming endeavors that are happening in the area. It's a festive atmosphere filled with music, learning and lots of food, lots of fresh produce, but not just the typical produce that you would find in the grocery store. There's cheese. There's maple syrup. There's chocolate buns, things that you always want. Tomatoes and cucumbers, pickles can tomatoes, lots of jams and sauces and syrups. The summer market takes place outside on the grounds of the plantation. Barbara believes that markets like these will ensure the future of farming. You know you can't talk to people at the grocery store about what goes into the soil, what nurtures the soil so that the plants grow. But these folks will call to about that, and it's It's good for us to know, because we're detached a little bit about where our food comes from and how it gets to the plate.AdvertisementPlimoth Plantation changing its name in effort to be more inclusiveA living history museum in Massachusetts focused on colonial life on the English settlement at Plymouth is planning to change its name to better reflect the Native Americans that long lived in the region.Plimoth Plantation, in a Facebook post this week, unveiled a new logo bearing the word “Patuxet," the Wampanoag name for the area, juxtaposed with “Plimoth,” the one later given to it by English colonists.The museum, which was founded in 1947 and features colonial reenactors replicating life on the Puritan settlement, said the name to be unveiled later this year will be “inclusive of the Indigenous history that is part of our educational mission.”It said it had long been planning to announce a new name timed with this year's commemoration of the 400th anniversary of the Pilgrims’ arrival on the Mayflower in 1620.“As our Nation faces a pandemic, an economic crisis, a reckoning with racial injustice and a highly-charged election year, there is no doubt that we have reached an inflection point in our history, one that raises necessary, and at times painful, discussions,” the museum said in part in its statement.
