This fun and educational tour of Plymouth's historic district includes Town Brook, Brewster Gardens, Plymouth Rock and the historic waterfront, Cole's Hill, Town Square, and the historic Jenney Grist Mill area.

On your tour you will see the sight of the first meetinghouse that was built in 1621 and the sights of some of the homes of the first Pilgrims. You will walk by the first burial site of the Pilgrims and walk up First Street to the sight of the first church built in Plymouth.
