Plimoth Plantation

Picture of the Pilgrims village on the Plimoth Plantation. As you can see, it was a beautiful day and a really lovely site for a village to be created!
This afternoon we went to the Plimoth Plantation, the reenactment on the 1627 Pilgrim village which has authentic homes of both the Pilgrims and the Womanog Native American people of the time. This was a most wonderful place to learn of the customs, house designs, food and lifestyles of both the Pilgrims and the Indians!! We had lots of fun!! We even got to enjoy the Thursday farmer's market on the grounds and brought home some yummy fruit, veggies and bread. Tomorrow we hope to venture to the famous island, Martha's Vineyard. Should have some great pictures to share tomorrow. Also, I need to tell you of our neighbor at the Scusset Beach campground. It will be a treasured tale for sure! Sorry, it can't be tonight, but I needed an emergency chiropractic adjustment this afternoon, and I'm feeling a bit trashed and quite sore. I promise I will share more soon. Sweet dreams and blessings to you all, Lioness

A Wompanog home...roof and siding was made from the bark of trees of the area.
 

A Wompanog who shared with us lots of information about his people. This was on the inside of the hut.

Some of the finer furniture pieces, all made there on site, that wealthier Pilgrims might have in their homes.

Rest Time!
