Visiting Plimoth Plantation, a living history museum in Plymouth

The view over Plimoth Plantation, the first settlement of European emigrants that came out successfully. 

The first permanent English settlement in the Americas was Jamestown in the Colony of Virginia. It was established in 1607 and abondoned several years later after about 80% of its settlers had died.

Thirteen years later, in 1620, a group of about 102 people set off from Plymoth, England, on the Mayflower. Among them were adventurers and English Separatists, today known as the Pilgrims, fleeing religious persecution. Plimoth Plantation is a reconstruction of their first settlement, in which actors reenact life back then in the 17th century.
