Top 10 Free Things to do in Plymouth, Massachusetts (MA)
It's no wonder that the Pilgrims fell in love with America when they landed at gorgeous Plymouth, set in the calm waters of Plymouth Harbor along Cape Cod Bay. It was here that the first English colonists made war and then peace with the Natives, celebrating their newfound cooperation with the first Thanksgiving dinner. Visit the landmarks that honor this piece of American history, from Plymouth Rock to Mayflower II to Burial Hill. Or just enjoy the sandy beaches and calm sea breeze.

The tombstones are all very well maintained and it was a pleasure to see a historical cemetery that was so well maintained. It is under a lot of trees so it's cooler and fun to walk through and see all the old names. Be advised, there are some hilly sections for those who can't walk well.

8. National Monument to the Forefathers
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 592 reviews
Thought to be the largest solid granite monument in the United States, this 81-foot-tall granite statue was built to honor the passengers of the Mayflower. Boston sculptor Hammatt Billings designed the monument which features allegorical figures depicting the virtues of Faith, Morality, Education, Law, and Liberty. A dedication on the monument reads, “National Monument to the Forefathers. Erected by a grateful people in remembrance of their labors, sacrifices and sufferings for the cause of civil and religious liberty.” The original design called for the monument to be nearly twice as tall at 150 feet (just under the Statue of Liberty’s height of 151 feet). The monument is free to visit and open to the public year-round. Its site is managed and maintained by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation. Visitors are welcome to bring a picnic and their furry companions (on a leash) to enjoy the monument's lawn.

Another great tour with Leo from Jenny museum. He really helps explain everything about this monument that most people would not have a clue. A full story about the monument worth the time!

We loved our visit, the wine, the sauces & the staff. Laura the manager was so helpful and great to talk with. We went back the next day and had Tess & Mike who were also great. We loved the wine & for $20 we tried 13 wines, comes with a small cheese, cracker plate, sample of a a tasty piece of chocolate and jams & sauces they sell. I bought the springbok sauce. The first day we sat on the porch and 2nd day was a group of 6 of us inside. This is great for couples, groups and some kids were there too.

Are you looking for a lovely area to spend the day with the kids or just a little alone time? I've found the perfect spot. There is a playground, waterpark area for the kids to run through, a food stand, there is also access to the harbor, and there is a bike/walking trail.
