Around Plymouth

After visiting Plymouth Rock, we drove around Plymouth to see what was interesting. 

Apparently, this was the main street where the pilgrims lived. None of these houses are the originals I'm sure, but it was a very pretty street! 



Just more pictures of how pretty Plymouth was. 



The Monument to Our Forefathers was a huge statue on the top of the hill. See how little Jeremy and the kids are?  It was dedicated in 1889. 


It listed all the names of the pilgrims on the Mayflower. 




We went to burial hill to look for our 11th great grandfather John Howland. Here is a memorial to his 10 children. We are descended from his son John Howland and Mary Lee. 


Here is John Howland's grave. 


A lot of the pilgrims were buried in this cemetery. 



While in Plymouth, we were hoping to see the Mayflower replica. However, it is out for repairs. They are fixing it up for the 400 year celebration in 2020.
