Outdoors, visitors can board replicas of the three ships that sailed from England to Virginia in 1607, explore life-size re-creations of the colonists' fort and a Powhatan village, and tour a riverfront discovery area to learn about European, Powhatan and African economic activities associated with water. In the outdoor areas, costumed historical interpreters describe and demonstrate daily life in the early 17th century.
In the 1627 Pilgrim Village, talk with costumed role players who portray the Plymouth colonists (popularly known as the "Pilgrims") going about their daily lives in this small, re-created coastal village. Discover a different perspective at Hobbamock's (Wampanoag) Homesite, where modern-day Native staff practice and preserve traditional skills and speak about the history and culture of the Wampanoag People. On the Plymouth waterfront, walk aboard Mayflower II, a full-scale reproduction of the type of 17th-century sailing vessel that made the famous voyage in 1620. In the Crafts Center, watch our skilled modern-day artisans as they fashion the period furnishings and clothing used in the 1627 Pilgrim Village.
It's a slightly silly sounding name. But aside from that, it's a total immersion approach to costume and material culture.
Elizabethan clothing and rapier combat. What more do you need?
Much excellent information on period clothing and related subjects.
