on Route 3, Exit 5 in Plymouth
where you can pick up Plymouth and
State-wide information including maps
and brochures on attractions, lodging,
shopping and dining. Open year-round
24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Call 800.231.1620 or visit www.SeePlymouth.com.
Welcome
Visit art museums in Brockton, Cohasset, Marshfield,
Norwell, Duxbury and Plymouth, and explore the
historic coastline and proud maritime heritage in our
ten coastal towns.
Daytrip excursions can include Boston and Cape Cod
and the islands of Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket.
Enjoy daily seasonal whale watch cruises and narrated
harbor and Cape Cod Canal tours. Try Sandwich’s
Heritage Museums & Gardens, the City of New Bedford
known for its whaling industry history, Fall River’s
Battleship Cove and Newport Rhode Island’s Mansions.
In Plymouth County you’ll discover a blend of art and
history, adventure and recreation, breathtaking natural
beauty and more to do than can be done in one day.
Plymouth – America’s Hometown, is the heart of
Plymouth County and the site of the first permanent
settlement of English Colonists in New England. Visit a
re-creation of this settlement at the English Village at
Plimoth Plantation. Board Mayflower II, a reproduction
of the ship that carried the Pilgrims to the New World.
Take in the sights and sounds of a lively, working
Plimoth Plantation,
Plymouth
waterfront. Boats cruise through Cape Cod Bay for whale
watching and deep-sea fishing. Lobstering and even “pirate
hunting” are available in Plymouth Harbor. The streets of
Plymouth continue to welcome newcomers as they did four
centuries ago.
Experience the stories of “America’s Hometown” by foot
or trolley. Visit www.SeePlymouth.com for up-to-date
Plymouth information.
The South Shore is known for its scenic coastline, quaint
villages, comfy B&Bs and impressive lighthouses. Traveling
along Route 3A is the best way to visit unique museums
sharing the various histories of such businesses as farming,
lifesaving or Irish mossing, not to mention centuries-old
“homes turned restaurants” offering seaside dining.
Cranberry Country winds through the back roads of
southeast Plymouth County where the importance of the
cranberry industry and its continued influence is more
than evident. Look for colorful wet harvests in late
September and October, so well known from Ocean Spray™
commercials. Visit a farm that uses the dry harvest process
that gives us fresh cranberries for our Thanksgiving dinners.
Metro South, with its proximity to Boston, is the perfect
hub for exploring the County and a true destination in
its own right. Known as the City of Champions due to its
prize-fighting heroes Rocky Marciano and Marvelous Marvin
Hagler, it is also home to the only contemporary craft
museum in New England as well as other cultural
venues including a Black History Trail.
Plymouth County’s doors are open for you to explore
America’s historic past as well as its vibrant present.
