Plymouth Rock, MA

Plymouth Rock is the traditional site of disembarkation of William Bradford and the Mayflower Pilgrims who founded Plymouth Colony in 1620. It is an important symbol in American history, so you can't really drive through it without stopping.

This is a beautiful memorial park on the water.  The town was clean and friendly and so pretty!  Just my luck that the actual "Rock" (engraved with 1620 on it) was under construction!!


 
WOW, what a view!


 
Pilgrim Memorial State Park



 
 

 
There are lots of monuments in the park.

 
It is easier to read this than to have me try and explain it.  This was a beautiful memorial to the Indians.  (Click on the photo to enlarge it to read it.)




 
I guess the "Rock" is getting a renovation!



 
Beautiful, historic town.

 
The weather was amazing, as were all the flowers!
