Plimoth Patuxet is one of the Nation's foremost living history museums. Telling the iconic story of Plymouth Colony was the fulfillment of a young archaeologist’s boyhood dream. With help and support from friends, family, and business associates, Henry Hornblower II started the Museum in 1947 as two English cottages and a fort on Plymouth’s historic waterfront.
Since then the Museum has grown to include Mayflower II (1957), the English Village (1959), the Wampanoag Homesite (1973), the Hornblower Visitor Center (1987), the Craft Center (1992), the Maxwell and Nye Barns (1994) and the Plimoth Grist Mill (2013).
​
Today, Plimoth Patuxet provides an engaging and experiential outdoor and indoor learning environment on its main campus and at the State Pier on Plymouth’s waterfront, and at the Plimoth Grist Mill on Town Brook. The Museum’s permanent exhibits tell the complex and interwoven stories of two distinct cultures - English and Indigenous.
​
The main exhibits are enhanced with an exciting menu of special events, public programs, and workshops that offer a rich and diverse exploration of the 17th-century.
​
Generations of families, millions of school children, and countless people from all over the world have visited the Museum and participated in Plimoth Patuxet's educational experiences that spark the imagination, delight the senses, touch the heart and enrich the mind. Learn more at plimoth.org
