The famous Plymouth Rock is located

on the waterfront in Plymouth, near where

Mayflower II is normally anchored. However, this

illustrious boulder has had many adventures.

In 1774, Plymouth was animated by the spirit of

the impending Revolution and it was resolved,

as James Thacher relates, to “consecrate the

rock… on the altar of liberty; to associate the

symbol of the Forefathers and the community

with the new cause and legitimize what was

a contentious issue in the town. The Rock

was lifted from its bed and “…in attempting

to mount it on the carriage it split asunder,

without any violence. As no one had observed

a flaw, the circumstance occasioned some

surprise. It is not strange that some of the

patriots of the day should be disposed to

indulge a little superstition, when in favor

of their good cause. The separation of the

rock was construed to be ominous of a

division of the British Empire.”

The upper piece of the Rock was moved

by teams of oxen up to the Town Square

near the Town House, where a Liberty

Pole had been set up. However, after that

crisis was over, the Rock was neglected to

some extent, as was witnessed by Edward

Kendall in 1807: “The place assigned to

this venerable stone, is no other than the

end of a wall, in which, along with vulgar

stones, it props up an embankment…”

near an elm tree in the Town Square.

The practice of taking pieces as souvenirs

had also begun, so on July 4, 1834 (after

James Thacher’s 1832 History of the

Town of Plymouth had heightened

interest in the town’s history), the

Rock was moved again.

THE ADVENTURES OF

PLYMOUTH ROCK HONORING THE PILGRIMSIn 1819, in anticipation of the approaching bicentennial of the

arrival at Plymouth, a number of Plymoutheans decided to form a

historical society in honor of the Pilgrims. The Pilgrim Society was

incorporated the following year “for the purpose of procuring in the

town of Plymouth a suitable lot or piece of ground for the erection of a

monument to perpetuate the memory of the virtues, the enterprise and

unparalleled sufferings of their ancestors who first settled in that ancient

town, and for the erection of a suitable building for the accommodation

of the meetings of said association.”

The construction of the building was soon begun, and in 1824, Pilgrim

Hall was opened for both meetings and as a repository for Pilgrim relics.

It became the logical place to move the Rock, and a decorative iron fence

was erected to receive it. It was on the 1834 journey that Plymouth Rock

acquired its famous crack, by falling off its conveyance in front of the Court

House. Even in its new cage, the Rock was chipped at until the town put a

stop to the practice, as noted by Thoreau in his diary in 1851.

A HOME FOR THE ROCKThe laying of the cornerstone of a new Plymouth Rock canopy and

Forefathers Monument occurred on August 2, 1859. Both were designed

by Hammet Billings of Boston.

The canopy was finished in 1867, and contained not only the lower portion

of the Rock, but a number of bones found on Cole’s Hill discovered when

a sewer was being laid in 1854. These were identified by Dr. Oliver Wendall

Holmes as the remains of white persons, and presumed to be those Pilgrims

who had died the first winter. According to a tradition preserved by Elder

Faunce, they had originally been buried near the first Common House on

Leyden Street.

In order to get the lower portion of the Rock to fit in its new home, it was

necessary to cut off several pieces, which were apparently used as souvenirs

and to supply the demand for a “piece of the rock” elsewhere. The upper half

was moved to a fenced enclosure in front of Pilgrim Hall on July 4, 1834. On

September 27, 1880, the upper half was reunited to its other part and put under

the canopy. The “1620” (previously painted on) was carved into it.

The Rock was moved once again when the Billings canopy was demolished before

the 1920-21 Tercentenary celebration. Both sections of the Rock were lifted from

their bed and removed to make way for construction of a new memorial structure.

The strain of the boulder caused it to break apart once again, and further pieces

had to be removed in order to reunite the sections before it was lowered to the

new water level position it remains at today. The present canopy, designed by

McKim, Mead and White and built by Roy B. Beattie of Fall River, was donated by

the National Society of Colonial Dames in 1921.

SAVING A NATIONAL TREASURE:MAYFLOWER II GETS A MAKEOVER Although the original Mayflower no longer exists, Plimoth

Plantation’s full-scale reproduction, Mayflower II, has long

been a treasured and familiar presence on the Plymouth

waterfront. This historic ship – a gift from the people

of England to the United States – commemorates the

friendship between our countries, strengthened during

World War II. The ship set sail from Plymouth, England on

April 20, 1957 with a crew of thirty-three men and arrived

on the shores of Plymouth, Massachusetts on June 13 to a

crowd of 25,000 spectators.

More than sixty years later, the ship has lost none of her

luster as an international destination. Since that time, an

estimated 25 million people have stepped aboard Mayflower II

and imagined the Pilgrims’ experience on that historic crossing

in 1620. Today’s visitors to the ship sense the perils of the 1620

voyage and methods of maritime travel of the time, observe

the tools of 17th century navigation, and are reminded of their

own ancestors who may have made similar voyages to the

United States.

Mayflower II, one of Plimoth Plantation’s three main outdoor

living history sites, serves as a floating classroom and cultural

anchor in the Town of Plymouth. Keeping a wooden ship

that is continually exposed to the elements seaworthy

poses numerous preservation challenges, however. Today,

the ship is undergoing a major refit at Mystic Seaport’s

Henry B. DuPont Preservation Shipyard where Plimoth

Plantation’s maritime staff are working alongside the

museum’s expert shipwrights to restore the ship using a

combination of traditional and modern tools and techniques

in keeping with the ship’s original construction.

In 2019, Mayflower II will return to Plymouth in her full

glory, ready to greet visitors once again and in time for

the 400th commemoration of the Pilgrims’ arrival on

New England’s shores in 2020.

Please visit inspire.plimoth.org to learn more

about you can get involved with this exciting

project and plimoth.org/mayflowerII-blog/ for

updates on the restoration.

OCEANS OF ACTIVITIES AWAIT YOU

Visitors are drawn to Plymouth’s significant and fascinating history. Colonial history began here when the Pilgrims arrived in

1620. However, history is just the beginning of what Plymouth has to offer. From our beautiful working harbor, to our fishing

and lobster industries, to the rope making of the Plymouth Cordage Company, Plymouth has found success as a maritime

community since the Mayflower reached her shores. We encourage you to board a vessel, stroll the shore, and partake in a

variety of recreational seaside activities.

FISHING. Boats depart Town Wharf

almost every day, carrying both

commercial and sport fishermen. If you’d

like to test your skill with a rod and reel,

head over to the wharf and book a half-

or full-day trip on one of Captain John

Boats – Deep Sea Fishing trips. You’re

guaranteed to come home with dinner for

the evening, your very own catch of the

day, or tales of the one that got away.

WHALE WATCHING. Captain John

Whale Watching trips depart daily during

the season (weather permitting). You will

enjoy an amazing and unique full day on

the water. Humpback, minke, and other

whale species return to our waters to

frolic and feed each year. Cameras should

be kept at the ready on the open ocean

and at Stellwagen Bank National Marine

Sanctuary as you wouldn’t want to

miss the incredible displays of behavior.

Whale watchers observe open-mouth

feeding, groups working together to

feed, flukes jutting from the waves, and

the awesome act of these behemoths

“breaching” or jumping out of the water.

Most Plymouth whale watch providers

participate in Whale SENSE, a responsible

whale watching initiative.

LOBSTERS. Closer to the shoreline

other denizens of the deep await your

“hands-on” visit. Plymouth makes up

a large percentage of the revered New

England fishing fleet. You can head

out into the harbor and help pull up

“pots” containing lobsters and crabs, as

well as a wide variety of living things.

You’ll learn all about these hard-shelled

creatures and how lobstermen apply

their trade. Unlike charter fishing, there’s

no dinner to be had on these excursions,

everything goes back into the water

before the end of the trip.

PIRATES & KAYAKS. For even more

excitement on the water, take the young

kids on a search for pirate treasure and

the older ones on a kayak adventure. On

Plymouth Cruises aboard Lobster Tales,

your children will dress as pirates, sing

pirate songs and laugh at pirate jokes

as they prepare for a water cannon

battle with the scurvy thief upon whose

ship their stolen treasure chest lies. At

Billington Sea Kayak you can rent kayaks

and paddleboards for daytime and

sunset excursions at Billington Sea.

HARBOR CRUISES. For a more

relaxed sightseeing experience on

the water, try one of our many harbor

cruises. Captain John Boats Harbor &

Sunset Cruises navigate the waterfront

aboard the Pilgrim Belle, a Mississippi

River-style paddle wheeler, which offers

harbor tours, entertainment events and

specialty trips. Plymouth Cruises aboard

Lobster Tales offers wine cruises in

collaboration with Pioppi’s Liquor Store

and ice cream sundae tours. Some of

the cruises offer fantastic views of the

two lighthouses that have protected

sailors along our rocky coastline for ages.

Contact operators for a current schedule.

CONSERVATION. Beginning with

Plymouth’s earliest residents and

visitors, the natural resources that the

area has to offer have been treasured

and protected. Today, Plymouth is home

to many environmentally responsible

residents and organizations. Whether

you’re interested in an exhilarating

whale watch cruise or a relaxing sunset

cruise, our partners offer something for

everyone to enjoy.

NATIONAL MONUMENT TO THE FOREFATHERS

BIRTH OF A NATION

The birth of our nation began right

here in Plymouth. We are proud to

present one of the most impressive

statues in the United States

dedicated to the Pilgrims and their

founding principles. The National

Monument to the Forefathers, an

81-foot solid granite statue designed

by Hammatt Billings and dedicated

in 1889, strives to capture those

principles in a symbolic sculpture.

To truly understand the monument,

you need to analyze and study the

artist’s choices. Why is Faith larger

than Morality, Education, Law and

Liberty? Why are some statues men

and others women? What are they

holding? Who are the little figures

beside each major principle and what

value do they represent? Would you

have chosen different values? Why

were certain Pilgrim historical events

and quotes chosen?

If time allows, compare your

observations with those of professional

tour guides. Take one of the tours led by

Park Interpreters from the Massachusetts

Department of Conservation and

Recreation (DCR, caretakers of the

Forefather’s Monument). Sign up with

the Jenney Museum or the Plymouth

Rock Foundation for a tour around the

monument. Check out Kirk Cameron’s

documentary, Monumental, and see why so

many people have been inspired to see the

statue in person.

Your visit to the National Monument

of the Forefathers will instill a better

understanding of how the basic principles

of the United States of America were born

right here in America’s Hometown.

TAXI DRIVERConsider 15%, that is if he/she went out

of his/her way to get you there directly,

safely, and comfortably. Watch to be sure

that the tip hasn’t been automatically

added to your fare before paying.

TOUR GUIDES AND CHARTER BUS DRIVERSIt is customary to pay the bus driver $5

for a full day tour, and anywhere from $5

to $10 day for a weeklong trip. Typically,

the tour guide, if you have one, gets

double the rate paid to the bus driver.

VALET PARKING ATTENDANTA valet parking attendant retrieves

your car whenever you want it — it is

appropriate to give him/her $1 to $5.

However, if your car is precious to you

and you need it to be handled with care,

or parked in a secure area, a bigger

tip may be necessary.

BARTENDERIt is customary to give $1 to $2 for a

small drink order, but if this person

has gone out of his/her way to mix you

that perfect drink, a bigger tip is not

unreasonable. Provide larger tips when

the order is for larger groups.

WAITERS/WAITRESSES15% is the norm, and 20% when the

individual has given you extraordinary

service. For larger groups, tips are

sometimes added automatically to the

bill. Always examine your check to be

sure you don’t pay twice.

HOTEL MAIDA good maid works hard, remaining

unseen, while providing a clean room

for you and your family. Typically, tips

should range from $1 to $5 per night,

depending on the size of the room, the

number of people, and realistically, how

messy the room is left. (Room service tips

should not be included here, as the Room

Service should be tipped separately upon

their arrival.)

FOOD SERVICE DELIVERY PERSONFor delivery service, 15% would be

construed as appropriate, depending of

course on the size of the delivery, the

distance, and their timing. Base your tip

on the size of your order, the distance

traveled and the weather conditions

during the delivery. If you ordered a

loaded, party-sized pizza delivered 5

miles hot and fresh during rush hour, you

may consider giving a bit more than for a

small pizza delivered from the pizza shop

two doors down.

TIPS AND GRATUITIES CAN

ADD UP AND SHOULD

BE CONSIDERED WHEN

BUDGETING FOR YOUR TRIP.

HAVE A GREAT VACATION!
