For all the pioneers of american history.

Ralph Waldo Emerson's wife was buried here, her  brother discovered "ether" one of the first Anastetic

This is it, the rock, a lot smaller than you might have imagined.  It had been in several location in Plimouth (the pilgrims spelled it this way) dropped, cracked, chiseled for souveniours but now is in its original location.

The little town, shops and homes are so quaint, I can't wait to bring Julia Rose when she studies about the pilgrims.  Just not in the winter, they get gobs and gobs of snow.

An exact replica of the "Mayflower".  That is what it says, not sure I can imagine 104 people coming from England in high seas. rough.
