追溯美国往事的时光之旅

A Pilgrim-style dinner
In fall, you can enjoy a harvest dinner very similar to the First Thanksgiving. You’ll dine Pilgrim style—with your hands. You’ll find no pepper on the table. This expensive spice was used only sparingly in cooking. You’ll find no last-course “dessert,” either. At the time, people ate sweet dishes right along with the meal.
Cranberries were on the menu then and still are today. A short distance from Plimoth, you can visit Cranberry World. At this unique museum, you’ll see how cranberries are harvested and can taste different cranberry products.
Of course, the First Thanksgiving included not only the Pilgrims, but also their Wampanoag guests. Who were the Wampanoag? To find out, explore a re-created Wampanoag home site, just a short walk from Plimoth. Step into the Native American home and enter a different world. Native Americans dressed in 17th century Wampanoag outfits describe how their people lived 400 years ago. Outside, you can help make a traditional boat or learn about native plant remedies.
Much in Massachusetts has changed since the 17th century. But in Plimoth, the past lives on.
