The
southeast region of Massachusetts is home of Plymouth Rock,
an enduring symbol of the Pilgrim's arrival in the New
World. It is a natural starting point for a visit to
Plymouth, "America's Hometown." The pilgrims'
early days in the New World are vividly re-created at
Plimoth Plantation. See a full-scale reproduction of the
ship Mayflower II in which the hardy Pilgrims made their
harrowing 66-day voyage to the new land. The area is also
known for its cranberry bogs. Edaville USA's Cranberry World
exhibit, explains how the ruby-red berries are grown and
harvested. Across the harbor in New Bedford, Herman
Melville's "dearest place in all New England", you
can immerse yourself in the history and lore at the Whaling
Maritime Historical National Park. Stroll up Johnny Cake
Hill, or thrill to the color and commotion of one of the
largest fishing fleets in the Northeast.
