Plymouth
In 1620 the Pilgrims docked at Plymouth, liked what they saw, and settled in. They weren't the only ones in the neighborhood, the Wampanoag Indians had lived in the area for centuries and showed the Pilgrims how to plant crops to survive. On our visit to Plymouth, it was fun to see the houses of our kids' ancestors, John and Elizabeth Howland. On the Mayflower voyage, John Howland fell overboard, but lived to tell the tale.
Cranberry Farm (Carver, just west of Plymouth) - Growing cranberries is a local tradition in the area. Take a tour of a cranberry bog, try sorting cranberries, along with cranberry juice samples. May to September, Flax Pond Farms.
Sauchuk Farm (Plympton) - In fall, kids will have fun running around the corn maze, sampling cider doughnuts, going on a hay ride, riding the cow train through the corn, and more seasonal activities.
