Informations supplémentaires:
Plimoth Plantation is a living museum in Plymouth, Massachusetts that shows the original settlement of the Plymouth Colony established in the 17th century by English colonists, some of whom later became known as Pilgrim Fathers. They were among the first people who emigrated to America to avoid religious persecution and to seek religious separation from the Church of England.It currently is a not-for-profit museum supported by admissions, contributions, grants and volunteers.The re-creations are sourced from a wide variety of first and second records, accounts, articles and period paintings and artifacts, and the museum conducts ongoing research and scholarship, including historical archaeological excavation locally and abroad. In the 1700 English Village section of the museum, historical interpreters have been trained to speak, act, and dress appropriately for the period.At Plimoth Plantation and they interact with their 'strange visitors' (i.e. the modern general public) in the first person, answering questions, discussing their lives and viewpoints and participating in tasks such as cooking, planting, blacksmithing and animal husbandry. The 1627 English Village loosely follows a time line, chronologically representing the calendar year 1627 from late March through November, depicting day-to-day life and seasonal activities as well as featuring some key historical events such as funerals and special celebrations.Alongside the settlement is a re-creation of a Wampanoag home site, where modern Native People from a variety of nations in traditional dress explain and demonstrate how the Wampanoag's ancestors lived and interacted with the settlers. The Mayflower II, docked near the purported Plymouth Rock, is also under the care of the museum. Colonial first-person interpreters represent the sailors and officers of the ship circa the 1620s. At some times, the "sailors" go on week-long trips to experience what it was like for Pilgrims
