Plimoth Plantation, Courtesy Of The Highland Street Foundation



We took advantage of Fun Family Friday several times last summer, and we finished off with a run through Plimoth Plantation.


The visit was made possible by the Highland Street Foundation, with help from these sponsors and hosts.



As this guy would tell you, we also went to Buttonwood Park Zoo, the Sandwich Glass Museum, Tanglewood, Battleship Cove, and a half dozen other fun spots... all for free!

If children have to duck to get in, you know Big Steve isn't getting in there.


In times of war, the Pilgrims would get a second guy in a hat to guard the fort's other bench.



That's like a sheep or a goat or something... I was born in Dorchester.




The Wampanoags invented the clambake,




A saquish, an "abundance of clams." It could be "small creek," depending on who you ask.




"Hey.... what's uppeth with thee?"
