If you love Thanksgiving, then Plymouth, Massachusetts, is the place to visit. After all, Plymouth Rock often is acknowledged as the birthplace of our nation. In the United States, the modern Thanksgiving holiday can be traced to a 1621 feast at Plymouth, at which pilgrims and Native Americans gathered to give thanks, both for the new settlement and for a bountiful harvest. Today the city of Plymouth recalls and preserves this tradition in a number of ways, making Plymouth the ideal place to spend the Thanksgiving holiday. Guests can visit Plimoth Plantation, a living history attraction that simulates life in a village circa 1627, as well as the Wampanoag home site. Tourists also can walk through and learn from a number of other related historical attractions, including the Alden House Museum, the American Legion History Room, Burial Hill, the 1749 Court House and Museum, the First Parish Church in Plymouth, the 1677 Harlow Old Fort House, the Mayflower II (a replica of the ship that carried the pilgrims to the new world, complete with reenactors onboard who portray the boat’s passengers and crew), the Mayflower Society House, the National Monument to the Forefathers, and the Pilgrim Hall Museum. And of course they’ll want to visit the immortal Plymouth Rock, a true landmark of American history. Tourist groups may wish to take a break from a busy day of sightseeing by enjoying a Thanksgiving party; one that comes complete with party supplies such as paper mache turkey centerpieces, pilgrim salt and pepper shakers and plastic party favors, bountiful cornucopias filled with fresh gold florals and other seasonal accents, paper leaves that capture the colors of fall (and that can serve as some darned handy placemats?), Native American wall art, etc. An amazing place to visit for Thanksgiving is Plymouth, Massachusetts; the birthplace of our nation.
