The city is located in Massachusetts and was originally known as Plymouth Plantation. Today, the city is a popular tourist destination. There are several things to do in Plymouth, including visiting the Plymouth Museum of Art and the Mayflower II. Both of these attractions are located in Plymouth Center. Visit the Richard Sparrow House to learn about the history of Plymouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Hio Hill Trail was originally a deer trail, and was built as such. The trail is named for the large pine trees that line the hike. The Town of Plymouth bought this land for access to the ocean and other scenic views. Hio Hill Trail features giant boulders and glacial erratic formations. Along the way, you&#8217;ll see pitch pine trees and other types of pitch pine. A short stroll along the trail will give you an appreciation for the beauty of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way to travel around Plymouth is by taking the MBTA. The MBTA offers bus and rail service Monday through Sunday from the South Station terminal. You can take the Plymouth\/Kingston Line, but some trains stop in nearby Kingston and Cordage Park. Both of these train stations are about a mile from downtown. Plan accordingly and make sure you plan extra transportation before you travel. For more information on how to get around the city, visit the Plymouth Chamber of Commerce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many historic sites to visit in Plymouth. The town is home to the Plymouth Rock, which marks the landing site for the Pilgrims in 1620. Burial Hill contains the graves of Governor William Bradford. It is estimated that half of the Pilgrims perished in the first winter. The population of Plymouth was so small that Cole&#8217;s Hill was planted in grain to cover up the deterioration. Plymouth was then officially recognized as the capital of the Plymouth colony, and was eventually incorporated into the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1691.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those interested in golf, there are many golf courses in Plymouth. The town has 11 public golf courses. Squirrel Run and Southers Marsh are two examples of courses that are in the area. The latter is known as the Southers Marsh course, and runs through cranberry bogs. Among the public golf courses in the area are Southers Marsh and the Pinehills course. In addition to golfing, Plymouth is home to several historic sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The National Monument to the Forefathers, the first building to be constructed on the site, is located in Plymouth. The museum is the oldest continuously operating public museum in the United States and features artifacts and exhibits of the first colonists. Throughout the museum, you can see a replica of William Bradford&#8217;s Bible, Myles Standish&#8217;s sword, and the earliest American sampler. Plymouth is a museum worth visiting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you want to learn more about Plymouth, Massachusetts, here are a few of the things you should know.
