USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -To navigate, press the arrow keys. Plimoth Plantation, founded in 1947, is a living history museum in Plymouth, Massachusetts, USA that attempts to replicate the original settlement of the Plymouth Colony established in the 17th century by English colonists who later became known as the Pilgrim s.

Detailed explanation-2: -The typical Pilgrim home was around 800 square feet and had only one large room where all of the sleeping, eating, cooking, and other activities of everyday life took place. Some homes also had a loft situated in the pitched roof, where the families kept dried herbs and provisions, and maybe a few beds.

Detailed explanation-3: -In December 1621, Mayflower passenger Edward Winslow wrote a letter in which he said “we have built seven dwelling-houses, and four for the use of the plantation.” They surrounded the entire compound, which they called Plymouth Plantation, with a stockade fence to protect them.

Detailed explanation-4: -After finding no suitable home, the Pilgrims sailed to Plymouth Bay, ferried ashore in small groups, and settled in the remains of a Native American village. The good people of Plymouth, Massachusetts, had big plans for 2020, the 400th anniversary of the Pilgrims’ arrival in New England.

Detailed explanation-5: -’Pilgrim’ became (by the early 1800s at least) the popular term applied to all the Mayflower passengers-and even to other people arriving in Plymouth in those early years-so that the English people who settled Plymouth in the 1620s are generally called the Pilgrims.
