Plimoth Plantation and Wampanoag Homesite
Plimoth Plantation is a living museum in Plymouth, Massachusetts, that reconstructs the original settlement of the Plymouth Colony established in the 17th century by English colonists. Some of those colonists later became known as Pilgrims, being among the first to emigrate to America to avoid religious persecution and to seek religious separation from the Church of England. Alongside the settlement is a re-creation of a Wampanoag home site, where modern Native People from a variety of nations (not in period character, but in traditional dress) explain and demonstrate how the Wampanoag's ancestors lived and interacted with the settlers.
