Best Plymouth Rock Day Trips & Things to Do

The Mayflower pilgrims landed on this boulder engraved with the year 1626 when they reached their permanent home of Plymouth, Massachusetts. Plymouth Rock is nowhere near its original size as many people have broken off pieces as souvenirs and it has deteriorated. After being moved around Plymouth a lot, the national treasure now is located under a structure designed by McKim, Mead and White in Pilgrim Memorial State Park. It is on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
