The "Mooflower"


Mom would know what this flower is, but I can't remember

Plimouth Plantation~the village

Gardens behind one of the houses

Wealthier members of the Plimouth Plantation owned furniture which they brought over on the Mayflower with them from England.

Beds on rope "springs"

Fishing "basket" and other goods

These volunteers live in the time of the Pilgrims so they are unable to answer questions about anything after the 1600's. This woman did not know what a "toothbrush" is...she uses sage and salt as a rub to clean her teeth.
