One of the places we visited in Boston was Plimoth Plantation. Talk about a step back in time. It is truly a living museum. Buildings are recreated complete with furniture and accessories. You can walk in and touch everything. The residents/employees are in character the entire time. They are extremely well educated on their subject. It was fascinating to watch them sew, cook, and garden. They happily visited as they worked, eager to answer any question.
The houses were very simple. Just the basics, a bed, a chair and a fireplace. The rest was a eclectic mix of things brought over on the ship. These books were on the shelf of the Governor's house. I was able to flip through them. The Bible of course and a book on English law were in excellent condition. The type was old script English and very hard to read.
I love this view from the top of the hill. What a treat to look out and see the ocean every day. We had a perfect day to tour. The sun was warm and the sky was clear and blue. You could feel the history with each step. These people worked hard for a very simple life. I really like electricity and love my hot water heater.
