Yes, that's apparently how it was originally spelled. Now known as Plymouth, Plimoth Plantation is a recreation of the settlement in Plymouth back in the days of the first colonists who braved the sea voyage and made their way to the new land.
You can visit a replica of the Mayflower and walk into a village that takes you back to 1627. People dressed in costumes of the period will great you and help you get a glimpse into the life of those early immigrants to our shores.
Plimoth Plantation also has some online activities that are interesting. With our own 2004 version of Thanksgiving right around the corner, go to the You Are The Historian site which will take you back to the first Thanksgiving and where you can meet some of the settlers and the Wampanoag people. Learn of the culture of both and even speculate about what food was eaten and what games the kids played.
