Plimoth Patuxet Museums

You are living history, not just watching a reeactment in our recreation of the early English Pilgrim settlement (17th-Century English Village); learn about the Indigenouse heritage of the Northeast from contemporary interpreters whose people have lived here for over 12,000 years at the Historic Patuxet Homesite.

For your enjoyment, there is a cafe in the Visitor Center that serves 17th-century and modern favorites. To remember your visit, we have a wide variety of Plimoth artisan-made and local New England items for sale in four retail shops.

Visiting during America's 250th Anniversary - Revolutionary Ideas Started Here! You can't understand the late 18th-century without its 17th-century (and, really, earlier!) beginnings. Come visit and learn the historical roots of the United States social, economic, and politial systems where the ideas self-government are embodied in the Mayflower Compact.

We hope to see you soon! Safe travels.
Plimoth Grist Mill

30 min Admission included

STEM and History program for all ages!

Located in historic downtown Plymouth, a short walk from the waterfront through Brewster Gardens is the Plimoth Grist Mill. A working reproduction of the mill built by Pilgrim John Jenney, in the original location along Town Brook, you will learn about the operations of the waterfed powered mill, and the ecology of Town Brook.

For those who love to bake, stop in to the retail store to purchase freshly stone-ground cornmeal and Sampe (Grits).

On Saturday afternoons, the mill stones are operational, the other days of the week, the millers are preparing the cornmeal by sifting, willowing and preparing the stones for the next run. Try your hand at milling with the immersive exhibits in the lower exhibit of the mill.

You may select to visit this location on the same day as you visit Plimoth Patuxet or a different day during the 2025 season.
