Plymouth

I went to Plymouth Rock, which is actually not the first place that the Pilgrims landed. They actually landed in Provincetown, MA which is on the northern tip of Cape Cod. I went there one afternoon and it's a lot like Key West. Anyways Plymouth Rock is just where they made their settlement. 


Part of the actual rock, half of it broke off when it was attempted to move it.


The building which it is under


Massasoit of the Wampangags who helped the Pilgrims



The National Day of Mourning is what the Native Americans celebrate on Thanksgiving for the genocide and oppression which the Natives still experience today. 


Crypt for the Pilgrims who died in the first year


This is a natural stream in Plymouth which is why the Pilgrims decided to settle here. I walked up the stream till I got to the pond which it comes from.







Mill that is on the stream
