Hobbamocks Homesite

Located three miles north of town on the Plymouth waterfront, the Plimoth Plantation is an absolutely incredible, living history museum that is a “must-see” and warrants no less than a half-day’s visit. A re-creation of a 1627 Pilgrim village with homes, storehouses, animal pens, and fields planted for harvest stretch up the hillside from the water’s edge and also includes the neighboring Wampanoag Indian community—Hobbamock's Homesite. To give you a perspective of time, the Mayflower landed seven years earlier than the date of this village, and Boston would not be founded for another three years after. If you have had an opportunity to visit Sturbridge or Williamsburg, they would not be settled for another 100 years. The docents that live and work at Plimoth Plantation are not just day actors, but rather, termed Time Travelers, who have dedicated years to studying a particular character. Admission to Plimoth Plantation is to experience their world. Talk with them about their passage, their hardships, their battles, their joy, and their lives. I promise you will believe you have traveled back in time. Note: It is possible to purchase an admission ticket valid for the Plantation, the Homesite and the MayflowerII.
