Mayflower II

Wampanoag Homesite
The Wampanoag Homesite replicates the life of a Native American community in the same area as the Plimoth Plantation during the 1600s. Homesite huts are made of wattle and daub (a framework of woven rods and twigs covered and plastered with clay); inhabitants engage in traditional crafts while wearing traditional garb. Unlike the actors at the English Village, these individuals are not acting as historic characters, but are indigenous people speaking from a modern perspective.

1627 English Village
The primary exhibit in the Plimoth Plantation complex is the 1627 English Village, which authentically recreates the Pilgrims’ settlement. Everything in the village – costumes, implements, vocabulary, artistry, recipes and crops – has been painstakingly researched and remade. Costumed interpreters, acting in character, explain the details of daily life and answer your questions as you watch them work and play.
