The tour begins with a walk along the waterfront where you'll receive an introduction to the history of both the English settlers who arrived in 1620 and the Wampanoag people who had inhabited the region for thousands of years. Your first stop offers a view of a replica of the Mayflower, the vessel that transported European colonists from England to Massachusetts.
Next, you'll visit Plymouth Rock, the site traditionally associated with the 1620 landing of European settlers who established the Plymouth Colony. You'll discover the complex historical context surrounding this landmark while viewing this enduring historical symbol.
The tour continues to the statue commemorating Ousamequin (also known as Massasoit), leader of the Wampanoag, where you'll learn about the historical relationship between the Wampanoag Nation and European settlers, including the circumstances that led to their initial alliance. You'll also gain historical perspective on the autumn harvest gathering of 1621, commonly referred to as the 'First Thanksgiving,' including historical details that differ from popular narratives.
