Sorry, I did spell it wrong. It is actually "Plimoth Plantation". The website is www.plimoth.org.

They're both great, but you really can't go wrong w/ Sturbridge. Period setting with people all performing their period roles.
I loved being able to put myself in any setting from blacksmith to farmer. Great experience. :-)
Have fun either way!

I a a little bit older than most respondents and can remember when they were building Plymouth village not far from Plymouth Rock and the replica of the Mayflower, it has changed a lot since then, but I have to agree with those that prefer Sturbridge Village. It isn't very far from Worcester MA. in Worcester there is Higgins Museum, between the two of them you could have a great day. If they still make the rock candy, buy some you might like it.

Plymouth Plantation is alot better than Sturbridge Village. Plymouth is a great community you go on the replica of the Mayflower, see the rock, and tour Cranberry Village. Beside it's on the ocean. Who doesn't want a day looking at the ocean?
FYI - The old world spelling is Plimouth but now it is Plymouth.

It's spelled Plymouth, as far as which is better...I like Sturbridge village. In Plymouth, they speak the old Biblical ways, they will say "thy" or "thou" instead of you. If you ask where a bathroom is, forget it, they will ask you what do you mean. they really play it up as if you were back in the days of the early settlement. They dress the same way as the Pilgrims did, speak the same and work the same. They have some women who actually will sit behind a spinning wheel and spin yarn from sheep's wool. Sturbridge is a little different, They don't speak like they do in Plymouth. The old houses and shops are wonderful, great old time food. I love going into those old stores. They smell wonderful. If you visit one of the old houses, they are still kept in the original manner they were built and they way they were decorated. Hand made comforters and rugs. I guess both places are great. I do love them both, but Sturbridge is my favorite.

Hmm...good question. I loved both, but for different reasons. If you're going during warmer weather, then Perhaps Plimouth Plantation...it's right on the water - really a beatiful area. If it's a bit cooler, then head to Sturbridge - I think there's more to do there, but you lose the ocean scenery of course. :-) Both locations try to keep true to their period of time which makes things interesting.

I loved Plimouth when I was in school. More educational that Sturbridge. How about both?
