As the famous founding community of the Pilgrims, Plymouth holds a special place in American memory. This one-mile walking tour leads visitors by the harbor and through the historic streets, all while bringing its colorful history to life with the legends of the personalities who crossed an ocean to build a home here.
Walk in the footsteps of the Pilgrims down the waterfront, where we’ll see the Mayflower II, a complete replica of the original ship, anchored in the harbor, then get a photo with the famous Plymouth Rock itself.
Dig deeper into colonial life as our expert narration shares tales of the founding generation and the hardships they overcame here at sites like Brewster Gardens, The Mayflower Society House, and the Grist Mill. Search for the names of poets and preachers alike at Burial Hill Cemetery, then finish your day with a newfound sense of adventure and that New England can-do spirit.
The tour begins at the Plymouth Visitor Center at 130 Water Street.
While this one-mile walk can be completed in about half a day, most visitors allow more time to tour Mayflower II or search for famous names in Burial Hill Cemetery.
