Plimoth Plantation in Massachusetts provides a chance to catch up with the settlers who came across on the Mayflower and later ships to establish a community here.
We stopped to chat with a few of Plimoth’s residents:
I am happy here. I was a printer in England, now I am a farmer. In England I couldn’t follow my religion and in Holland I couldn’t be an Englishman. Here I can be both an Englishman and true to God.
There is always work to do, but it is good here. Only God knows the future.
Governor Bradford is a very important man and many important people have been in this house, but I am just a servant so I shouldn’t speak of these things.
There is plenty here. I only wish that Plimoth had a mill – that would be a blessing.
The voyage over was terrible. No one should ever want to cross the sea.
There are newer ones, but this is a good piece. Stay a moment and I’ll show you how to load her.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Plimoth Plantation is located near Plymouth, Massachusetts.
Great place to visit and learn.
Indeed it is. I’ll cover more of that in a future post! Thanks for visiting!
