We went to MA last month, the kids had a great time visiting the Plimoth Plantation. They got to help plant some beets with a pilgrim woman, she even invited us into her house and told us all about how they live, how the children are raised and what their daily responsibilities are. It was so much fun and so educational, very hands on and realistic.
The plantation also has a Wampanoag Native American site, where we got to talk with Wampanoag tribes people, dressed as they would have been in the 1600's but were not in costume/actors as in the Pilgrim site. They spoke to us about their way of life then and now. We got to ask questions and really be a part of the daily things they were doing. Cooking, burning out a misthu( a kind of canoe), and various other things. It was so worth the money, there is no better way to understand life back then as through a live history museum.
It was deff. on of our best vacations.
