Travels That Tear!
Five destinations for learning
// BY MARY DIXON LEBEAU
FOR YOUR NEXT family vacation or weekend getaway, why not forget the amusement
paries and take a “learning vacation” instead? Bring home knowledge, instead of souvenirs
from one of these five fun and educational destinations:
Plimoth Plantation, Plymouth, Mass.
To teach appreciation of how settlers lived in the
early days of our country, head to Plimoth Plantation
Step into the past and explore an authentic 1627 Eng-
lish village that re-creates the first permanent English
settlement in New England, established seven years
after the Mayflower voyage. Through the Wampanoag
home site, families also can experience life as 17th-
century American Indians knew it
Plimoth is a live museum, immersed in the experi-
ence of the lives of the early settlers and American
Indians of that time. Costumed ride players
represent citizens of the plantation, and visitors can
expect to be thwarted by any attempts to hire them
out of character.
Steps away, board the Mayflower II, a full-scale
reproduction of the original sailing ship. The Crafts
Center allows the entire family to meet with artisans
who create the authentic feel of the plantation
by employing techniques and tools of
the past
