Happy Mayflower Day

This day celebrates the date the Mayflower sailed from Plymouth, England to America. On September 16, 1620, 102 men, women, and children set sail from Plymouth, England. Their destination was the New World, where they could have religious freedom, and continue using their native language, culture, and customs.

Today the Plimoth Plantation interprets the early days of the Pilgrims in New England. Plymouth is a short drive from Boston Mass.

It is road trip time to check out the fall colors in coastal New England.
