Experience Colonial America at Plimoth Plantation in Massachusetts
The Plimoth Plantation is about an hour from Boston, MA, and about the same from Providence, RI. A visit works well as a day trip but there are plenty of hotels and motels in the Plymouth area so it won't be a problem to stay overnight. A big part of the charm and education of Plimoth Plantation is what you will learn from the residents, all of whom will be only too happy to tell you what colonial life was like in early America and their research has been meticulous. They are living early American history and it's fascinating to observe.
Plymouth Rock
As rocks go, this is hardly the most impressive that one might ever see. Plymouth Rock is really surprisingly small but it marks the beginning of a story that grew farther and faster than any other in human history.
