We had the full experience here and it was amazing.
The Patuxet museum was beautiful and the staff so knowledgable and friendly. A good few hours spent here walking round it lot a waste.
The grist mill was beautiful and again, such knowledgable staff so happy to answer any questions.
The mayflower was a lovely experience too and so much history in one day made it an absolute bargain of a spend

Une très intéressante reconstitution d’un village du XVIIe. Ça vaut la peine pour se représenter leur mode de vie et leurs impératifs. Il y a aussi une reconstitution d’habitats traditionnels des natifs amérindiens de l’époque des premiers arrivants européens. Nous avions un billet combiné avec le visite du Mayflower II.
