My family immigrated from Ireland to the US in the 1600's. The first Green was born in Massachusetts in the 1650's and I am curious how they lived.

Plymouth Plantation sits across from the Atlantic Ocean. I am very blessed that I get to live just a few miles away from this beautiful historic place. As soon as the weather warms I like to visit as much as possible. Being a Plymouth resident it cost five dollars to get in, however if you are a tourist I think they charge a little over $20 per person.
A few months ago I went onto there website to see if they had any events going on because my relatives were coming to visit, I wanted to bring my nine-year-old niece who has never seen the plantation before. I found out they were having a doll making class. So I ordered three tickets. My mom, niece and I went and it was so much fun!!! We found out it was the very first doll making class they had. We all got to make deer skin Indian dolls and a nice Indian woman from the Wampanoag tribe taught us how to make the dolls and she also told us all sorts of interesting information about those days. Did you know that the children’s dolls didn’t have any faces on them back then? She said they purposely made dolls faceless so children could Pretend that there dolls were different people or they pretended the dolls were either male/females.Thank you for making this video about the Plantation! You did a wonderful job 👍

This is all a very interesting part of American History that I like learning about. I'm just glad I wasn't born in that time. Life was much harder.

[davidhardwick]

Good video, but the narrator's delivery is so flat and uninspiring it almost ruins the whole presentation!

[unknownauthor]

What were the illustrations came? Are they from a book if so I want to know the title & author

[canonbarst]

How is it possible? were the people then made of Steel? how did they survived even, how did the black American, Indians sirvived?.they myust have been superhumans to live like that in the winter.

Could use some inflection when revealing certain points of interest, The dull droning makes it seem like the video is of little importance. Show a little enthusiasm.

[HooibeestD]

This is what happens when you've got the info but didn't get the Story.

I’m curious why this village is called Plimoth Plantation when it’s location is in Plymouth Mass.

[-bambi]

Its 1620's not 1650 or both no hate

[newlywedbeth]

Pictorial signs were not because of low literacy rates.

[tazkrebbeks]

That was one of the worst narrator's I've ever heard. In fact it is so bad I am not even going to finish watching this documentary.
