Great museum where you will learn a lot about the Pilgrims. Great artifacts, short movie, a piece of Plymouth Rock, names of all aboard the Mayflower. Prepare to spend about an hour and a half here

Pretty nice little museum, although most of the stuff was out of date. Wish they had a hermit crab exhibit! Worth your while if you are into Pilgrims and old pilgrimmy stuff for sure.

Pretty cool place. Loads of history. Would be nice to have historical accuracy such as the first Thanksgiving actually bring at Berkley Plantation in Williamsburg well before the pilgrims. Plus the claim of being the oldest museum is wrong; that belongs to Charleston, S.C.There is a neat little video that explains why the pilgrims landed at Plymouth instead of the mouth of the Hudson. The paintings are beyond beautiful.

It was alright. The staff was very friendly and helpful however the museum was kind of cut and dry. I wish someone would talk to you about the certain exhibits such as the belongings of the pilgrims. They had them labeled to what they were but no back story. I do recommend checking out Plymouth Rock more because it’s free and the real thing!

Beautiful building and museum. It is a little pricey at $12.00 per person, though. They offer discounts for active duty military, but not veterans.

I love the history, I love that it’s actually open in February. The ladies working were adorable and so helpful! Although it’s not large, there are many neat artifacts and a lot to learn! I had a great experience and I’m really happy I went. Kids are free in February which was awesome because we came late at 350, and they close promptly at 430. I could have used some more time. The kids got age appropriate scavenger hunts which they loved. Recommend go! I think an hour would be adequate.

This is a small museum but well worth the visit because of the unique artifacts within.There is a good display to inform you about the actions of the Pilgrims before they came to North America. For example, I learned that they did not come straight from England! The film is good, and there are pieces in the museum that were belongings of the Pilgrims. I was especially impressed by the cradle of the first baby in the colony, the country’s oldest needlework sampler, and the colony charters.When I visited, there was a very good informative collection of clothing which talked about how the Pilgrims have been portrayed over the years and what they actually wore. There was also a rotating exhibit to the left of the front door which, when I visited, contained examples of wedding dresses from the 1600s to present day. The museum also contains a library and a very nice collection of oil paintings.There is a small gift shop with books, trinkets, and jewelry. There is very limited parking in the front, but a larger lot in the back. Handicapped people should try to park in the front if possible. The building does have an elevator and air-conditioning. Allow an hour for your visit, or more if something particularly interests you.

The oldest public museum in the U.S. (built in 1824), showcases possessions of the early Pilgrims - an impressive collection of things that belonged to the original pilgrims. This museum is a precious gem. Won’t mind a bit of history.

Pilgrim Hall houses an impressive collection of things that belonged to the original pilgrims. The video is engaging and interesting, and there is artwork on display upstairs depicting how our picture of who the pilgrims were has been shaped through history. This museum is a gem.
