“I’ve Been There”: Souvenirs of Pilgrim Plymouth The chronicle of the Mayflower Pilgrims has inspired millions of people from around the world to visit Plymouth, Massachusetts, the first English settlement in New England. For hundreds of years, people have come to gaze upon Plymouth Rock where “it all began” in December, 1620 – and to take home some tangible commemoration of their day(s) in the Old Colony town. Whether as personal treasures or gifts for those who remained at home, a great variety of Plymouth souvenirs have been eagerly acquired over the years. Ranging from a “piece of the rock” itself to simple objects with “Plymouth, Mass.” stamped on them, these tokens of remembrance have served generations as evidence and reminders that they indeed followed in Pilgrim footsteps. See how many of these souvenirs you have in your collection. Exhibit generously sponsored by NorthEast Community Bank. Green Pastures, Bluegrass & BBQ Put on your "Casual Western Attire" and enjoy a Bluegrass BBQ catered by Truman’s Catering along with live music by Four Bridges.
