Program

Who were the Pilgrims? The Pilgrims lived right here in our state, having landed in 1620 in Plymouth. In this class, students explore the lives of these founding mothers and fathers. We explore the reasons why they came to the New World, the difficulties they had in deciding what to bring, the hardships that 102 people had on board the Mayflower, and what they did after they landed. Hands-on activities allow children to get a better sense of the Pilgrims and learn about how hard it was for these first settlers.
