Education Statement

Guided by its mission, Plimoth Plantation’s educational philosophy and programs offer powerful personal experiences of history for students, teachers and families. Our programs emphasize the personal side of history, representing the perspectives of the Native Wampanoag and Colonial English people (popularly known as the “Pilgrims”) who lived in the Plymouth area in the 17th century. We strive to engage people in three different levels of learning: information, critical examination and personal change.

Our education programs incorporate multiple disciplines and align with the Massachusetts core curriculum frameworks. They can accommodate students from grades K through adult. For details about how we fufill these frameworks, please go to our Curriculum Frameworks page.

Occasionally, we find great external resources that we'd like to share. Check out the great Heritage Packs from Pilgrim Fathers, which are a great resouce for communitiy activities as well as educators.
