Visit to Plimoth Plantation

Our first day at Foxboro we sort of rested we did clean up of the coach inside and out and laundry, a stop at the grocery store and car wash to wash the Jeep. Barb is not sure how rested we got but accomplished a lot.

Thursday 9/11. We ventured to Plymouth to visit the Plimoth Plantation where the historical museum that is a place where visitors can connect with the real-life story of the people and how they lived in the 1600's. The People play acting the 1600's were part of the Wampanoag indians tribe and people inacated the English ancestors with the speaking accents and all. All the staff wore the clothing that was woren in the 1600's. It was a very historical education.

This is the entrance to the Plimouth Plantation Historical Muesum and no I did not spell Plimouth wrong that is the spelling of the 1600's.

It is surprising that the Indians were in this area first in the 1600's and then the English ancesters come over on the May Flower II and moved in the same area and started building their colonies.

This is the inside of the huts that the Indians lived in.
This picture is the huts how they were built out in amongs the trees.
This is Indian women cooking and you can see a hides drying on rocks which they use for clothing and the meat they ate.
This picture is a indian lady making a bag by weaving it.

Now we are in the English colony setting. It is quite a bit different than how the Indian houses use to be.

This is inside one of the houses and this is a baby bed.
This is the gardens that they grew all their food and on the racks in the back is corn drying.


This is a women doing laundry they took the ashes from the fire and shifted the charcoal out and layered that with their clothing and poured boiling water over it and left it over night and then put the clothes on logs and beat the dirt out.

This building is the church they only had two benches in the center but there was benches all along the side of the building.

This lady is polishing silver dishes.


After our tour of the museum we were hungry so decided to eat a late lunch or early dinner here at the Cabby Shack no it is not spelled wrong we thought it was the Caddy Shack until we looked at the name close. We had our first lobster here. Jerry had a lobster sandwich and clam chowder (which is pernounced different than we do). Barb had lobster tibids which was lobster mixed with cheese and dill put into a tortia shell and deep fried very good.

Then when we returned to our camp site we met our Wagon master couple and tailgater couple very nice and I am sure we are going to enjoy the next three weeks.
