when the pilgrims left england for the new world set sail aboard the mayflower and usually the The Mayflower is docked here but how can you see there's no Mayflower anywhere and that's because from what I hear it's getting a makeover for the city's 400th anniversary in the small ticket booth area of ​​the Mayflower in they actually have information on where the Mayflower is and it's actually in Mystic.

Connecticut so if you want to go see the Mayflower go there or wait until 2019 and then it's back to Plymouth if you're interested. knowing what these pieces of wood are inside the crate these are actual pieces of the damaged wood that they are repairing on the Mayflower that is the reason it is no longer in Plymouth Harbor it is being repaired because all the wood is rotting after its long journey. In the Atlantic Ocean, the pilgrims are said to have landed on Plymouth Rock, there's really no evidence to prove that this was the actual

rock

they landed on, so basically it's just an ordinary, so we have to go to the fake

rock

s.

What do you mean rocks fee? I'm sorry to break it to you, but it's a lie inside this structure, this pit is where you'll find the Plymouth Rock, that's where everyone says the pilgrims landed, they say they stepped on that rock like I said, I don't know how. true but there's the Plymouth Rock that people come from all over to see right there as you can see The Rock says 1620 right there at the top which symbolizes the year the pilgrims came to Plymouth Massachusetts it's a craziness. I think people from all over the world come to see Plymouth Rock and it's literally just a rock.

It is used as a symbol for pilgrims. Actually, no pilgrim stepped on that rock. meaning at all it just amazes me people like to worship that Rock and it's literally just a rock a few steps from Plymouth Rock there's a statue of the first Governor of Plymouth William Bradford there he's embodied in stone and there's uh there's some information on him can't really be seen due to glare from the sun, but there is information on William Bradford just behind the area where the rock is displayed is a giant

hill

known as Cole's Hill and on top of Cole's Hill like a statue of the Wampanoag satyam called moose Emiquon here is the statue of zeus Emiquon commonly known as Massasoit but from my understanding Massasoit is

more

of a title than a name it would be like going to the president. and simply calling him mr.

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

hill

and they put all the bones inside this giant sarcophagus the crazy thing is that the bones actually used to be housed on top of Plymouth Rock are you just getting started a dead person costel

burial

on each side of the monument there are engravings to honor 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, it is a cemetery where pilgrims are buried, this is also the place where they built their first fo. rt this rickety old sign gives you a bit of history about Burial Hill, if you want to pause and can make out the words feel free to pause and read a bit

about Burial Hill as we head to the top up a hill we 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 graffiti'd over the years, but you can still tell that that's cape cod crap is an abandoned abandoned mausoleum found the corpse of a missing pilgrim william bradford experienced an abandoned pilgrim's mausoleum there it is.

Gone Gone First Thanksgiving I don't know I don't know let's continue on Burial Hill Many of the people buried in this cemetery are not actual pilgrims who came on the Mayflower, but there are a few more notable: William Bradford's grave we saw his statue earlier in the video and now we're looking at his final resting place this is the tomb of william bradford the first governor in the new world here's a little comment about him on this monument in places like this they really get it you're thinking four hundred years ago years this man came here to the new world because he wanted to be free and here i am four hundred years later being set free doing what i want 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 go on adventures, show cool stuff, make youtube videos go, b Basically, do what we want, all because pilgrims like William Bradford. you came here and then you 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 very deep usually stuff we don't do on the channel . the but once i saw this like i just don't know it kind of hit me anyway let's keep wandering plymouth down the hill from

burial

the hill is jennie's grist mill hey that rhymes i'm a poet, I did not.

I even know I can rhyme at any time, yeah I know it was so cheesy anyway, let's get into the history of this place. The mill was built by a settler named John Jenny to grind corn into cornmeal. This is a recreation of the original. mill and built in the 1970's while the original mill was built in 1636 you can take a look inside if we come here this will really show us the inside of the mill as I really don't want to pay for a tour we could stick the camera straight to the glass and hopefully we can get a peek, oh yeah you can see some of the cornmeal up there, yeah you can't see much but you can see the inside of the grist mill right there. you can get up close and personal with the mill if we get to this as you observe In the observation area we can get very close to the mill see how it works all this water floods right there the big waterwheel turns and then inside that building is where they grind the corn to make the cornmeal they also have a little shop down here where you can actually buy the cornmeal made inside the gristmill, you can even pay a fee to take a tour of the gristmill as well as some more historical sites from Plymouth as well as you can watch the sunset so that's pretty much all the time we have today to see these great historical sites in Plymouth Massachusetts thank you so much for joining us as we went and checked out some historical sites in Plymouth Massachusetts.
