Plymouth, Cape Cod and the Islands of Martha's Vineyard & Nantucket
Plymouth, Cape Cod and the Islands of Martha’s Vineyard & Nantucket A summer trip to Massachusetts could be well-spent on the beautiful coast! Start by taking advantage of the new Cape Flyer weekend rail service from Boston to Buzzards Bay or Hyannis – the site of the Kennedy family home. Trains will depart from Boston’s South Station every Friday, Saturday and Sunday May-October; return service the same days. capeflyer.com If you’re driving, take your time, stopping along the way to check out the many cranberry bogs throughout Plymouth County. Your first stop, however, should be in the town of Plymouth itself. As the landing location and subsequent settlement for the Mayflower's Pilgrims in 1620, Plymouth, just 40 minutes south of Boston, is home to one of the greatest dramas in the founding of America. And, it was here in 1621, where the Pilgrims celebrated what is now known as the first Thanksgiving with their Wampanoag neighbors. Situated about 40 miles south of Boston along Massachusetts' South Shore, Plymouth unfolds along a scenic harbor of blue waters and picturesque boats. In “America’s Hometown," you'll get a glimpse of Plymouth Rock — and the Pilgrim way of life – at Plimoth Plantation. This bi-cultural living history museum offers a re- created 17th century English Village that includes Colonial interpreters who bring the era to life, a Native Wampanoag Homesite, Crafts Center and numerous Museum Shops. The reproduction Mayflower II, a full-scale reproduction of the Pilgrims’ original ship is located at State Pier just a stone’s throw from Plymouth Rock, that historic piece of granite thought to be the stepping stone for these courageous settlers into the New World.
