Historical Locations in Plymouth, Massachusetts - Plymouth Rock, Burial Hill & More

Right now we are in Plymouth Massachusetts, which for those who don't know is the first settlement established by the Pilgrims in 1620. There are many

historical

places in Plymouth and I thought instead of making a bunch of short videos about each place, why what not to do one? great video with lots of

locations

so let's walk around America's hometown and see some interesting

historical

places in Plymouth Massachusetts when the Pilgrims left England for the new world they set sail aboard the Mayflower and usually the Mayflower dock right here, but as you can. Look, there's no Mayflower in sight and that's because of what I've heard, they're renovating it for the town's 400th anniversary, in the little box office area at the Mayflower, they actually have information on where the Mayflower is and where It's actually in Mystic.

Connecticut, so if you want to see the Mayflower, go there or wait until 2019 and then it will return to Plymouth. If you are wondering what these pieces of wood are inside the box, they are actual pieces of damaged wood that they are repairing on the Mayflower that is the reason why it is no longer in Plymouth Harbor they are repairing it because all the wood is falling apart. rotting after their long journey across the Atlantic Ocean it is said that the pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock there is really no evidence to prove that this was the actual

rock

they landed on so basically it is a normal thing so we have to make the

rock

s fake, what do you mean rock fee?

I hate to tell you, but it's a lie inside this structure, in this well, it's where you'll find Plymouth Rock, which is where everyone says the Pilgrims landed, they say they stepped on that rock like I said, I don't know how true that is, but it's there. Plymouth Rock that people come from all over to see right there like you. I can see The Rock that says 1620 right there at the top, symbolizing the year the Pilgrims arrived in Plymouth, Massachusetts. It's crazy to think that people from all over the world come to see Plymouth Rock and it's literally just a rock that's used as a symbol.

The pilgrims, no pilgrims stepped on that rock, well, maybe the pilgrims stepped on the rock, but it has no historical significance. It just blows my mind. People like to worship that rock and it's literally just a rock a few steps away from Plymouth Rock. There is a statue of the first governor of Plymouth, William Bradford, there he is incarnated in stone and there is information about him that you can't really see because of the glare of the sun, but there is information about William Bradford just behind the area where the rock is located. Shown is a giant

hill

known as Cole's Hill and at the top of Cole's Hill is a statue of the Wampanoag satyam called the Emiquon elk here is the statue of Zeus Emiquon commonly known as Massasoit, but from what I understand, Massasoit is

more

of a title than a name would be like approaching the president and simply calling him sir.

The president likes not to know that his name is actually Donald Trump, so the pilgrims thought his name was Massasoit, but he was actually called Osama Qin according to my research. If you rub the foot of the great Sathyam, you get good luck. Rub it for good luck. I'll go up and rub it, as you can see, there are some rub marks from people rubbing his foot, so, well, good luck. An interesting fact about Cole's Hill is that back in the 1920s they found a pile of bones buried on the

hill

and they put all the bones inside this giant sarcophagus.

What's crazy is that the bones actually used to be lodged atop Plymouth Rock. Have you just started? Costel buries a dead person on each side of the monument. There are engravings in honor of those who died during the first winter. Here in Plymouth many of the Pilgrims were not buried on Coles Hill, many of them were buried here on Burial Hill, as the name suggests it is a cemetery where the Pilgrims are buried, this is also the place where they built their first fort , this old place. The sign above gives you a little history about Burial Hill.

If you want to pause and can make out the words, feel free to pause and read a little

about Burial Hill as we head to the top of a hill. you come across this cool map showing Cape Cod, it actually points out that we're right there, this is the Plymouth Bay area and then the tip of Cape Cod, so down here the map looks like it's been painted with graffiti over the years, but you can still tell that that's Cape Cod trash is that an abandoned mausoleum abandoned found dead body of missing pilgrim william bradford experiment abandoned pilgrim's mausoleum abandoned there is what you heard about here first people mausoleum of abandoned pilgrim found william bradford missing missing first Thanksgiving I No, I don't know, let's keep going up Burial Hill.

Many of the people buried in this cemetery are not actual pilgrims who came on the Mayflower, but there are a few, the most notable being the grave of William Bradford. We saw the statue of him. Earlier in the video and now we're looking at his final resting place, this is the tomb of William Bradford, the first governor of the new world. Here is a little blurb about him on this monument. Come to places like this, they really make you think four hundred years ago. This man came here to the new world because he wanted to be free and here I am, four hundred years later, being freed doing what I want, all because people like him made a difference in the world.

I guess I'm getting pretty deep, right? now, but all thanks to a few people, we can do whatever we want today, we can have adventures, show interesting things, make YouTube videos, basically do whatever we want, all because pilgrims like William Bradford came here and then you. I know you had things like the American Revolution and you still have people fighting for our country to this day trying to make a difference. I don't know, that was really deep, normally things we don't do on the canal, but once I saw this, I just don't know, it hit me anyway, let's keep wandering around Plymouth, just down the hill from the

burial

.

Hill is Jennie's mill, hey, that rhymes, I'm a poet, I didn't even know it, I can make a rhyme anytime yeah, I know it was really cheesy anyway, let's get into the history of this place. The mill was built by a settler named John Jenny to grind corn and make cornmeal. This is a recreation of the original mill and was built in the 1970s. While the original mill was built in 1636, you can take a look inside if we come here, this will actually show us the inside of the mill as it doesn't really I want to pay for a tour, we could place the camera right above. to the glass and hopefully we can take a look oh yeah you can see some cornmeal up there yeah you can't see much but you can see the inside of the mill right there you can get up close and personal. the mill, if we go down to this observation area, we can get really close to the mill and see how it works, all this water floods right there, the big water wheel turns and then inside that building is where they grind the corn to make the corn flour, they also have a little store down here where you can buy the corn flour made inside the mill.

You can even pay a fee to take a tour of the mill, as well as some of Plymouth's more historic sites, and you can also see the sun. going down, so that's almost all the time we have today to see these interesting historical places in Plymouth Massachusetts.
