Especially Loved the Live Actors
This is very much worth going to in order to learn about our country’s earliest settlement in New England in a fun, hands on way. First you go to Patuxet, the Indian village close to Plymouth. We got to experience a home for 3 families, Indian food cooking and canoe making. We then went on to some other inside exhibits and then the village of Plymouth. It gives you a good idea of how small the village was and how the people lived in their homes and what their fort, doubling as a meeting house, would have been like. You can explore each house as well as the fort. But what really makes this great is the live actors, bringing some of the people of the village to life. They all will talk with you and get you to work with them. We learned a lot about life in Plymouth in 1627 (the year it was set for) just by greeting the people. They behave as if they were these people – we found it best to tell them we were from a far off land since they had no idea what “Michigan” was – and they’ll ask you lots of questions too. I just had to run back and talk with another person while my family headed to the fort; the people weren’t always easy to catch.

a good place to visit when in the area
the actors who take part in the village area are doing a really good job and a lot of them study the charecter they play. they will not answer your modern day questions as they are to play the person from the time they arrive to when the leave. so just think you back in time and love every minute of it. It is really a good history lesson for the kids and the adults will learn a lot about the time and what they went thru to servive the harsh winters and without the help of the Native Americans they would not have made it thru the first winter. We liked the story telling and seeing the way of life. Interesting time spent. The actors were very good and knew their stuff. Good Job
