Pilgrim Memorial State Park Review

While it's the smallest State Park in Massachusetts, Pilgrim Memorial State Park is home to Plymouth Rock and the Mayflower II, two important pieces of our national history. The park is also close to several of the major attractions in the village of Plymouth, Massachusetts. Plymouth is where the Pilgrims first landed in the new world and set up their first colony. The park protects the history of the area.

If you've made your way to Plymouth, just off of Route 3 in Massachusetts, it's quite easy to find the Pilgrim Memorial State Park, just follow Route 44 to the waterfront and then follow the signs for Plymouth Rock and the Mayflower II. \

The biggest attraction in the park is Plymouth Rock. This small boulder is protected by a granite monument that lets you look down on the boulder. The park is also home to the Mayflower II, which is a replica of the original Mayflower that brought the Pilgrims to the new world. The park is adjacent to the Brewster Gardens, which are home to the springs that provided fresh water for the Pilgrims and provided an area for their first gardens.

Since the park is small, there is not all that to it, but it is host to two different amazing pieces of our history. The first being Plymouth Rock itself and the second being the replica of the Mayflower, the Mayflower II. Both of these are worth seeing and I think a trip to Pilgrim Memorial State Park is well worth it.
