We moved from Newburgh, NY to Middleboro, Massachusetts. Middleboro gets its name from the fact it is just that: in the middle of everything. Easy access to Boston, Cape Cod (Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket, Sandwich, etc.), Plymouth, New Bedford, Newport, RI, etc. You name it and you can get there pretty easily from Middleboro.
We went to Plymouth to see Plymouth Rock, which turned out to be a large rock under an open-to-the-air gazebo. Not a lot to see, IMHO. There is controversy about whether or not the ‘Pilgrims’ actually stepped off of the Mayflower onto Plymouth Rock at all; the first mention of the famous rock was over 100 years after the pilgrims landed.
Regardless, there is no controversy about the Pilgrims landing right in this bay and Plymouth still holds a lot of history and interest. There is a replica of the Mayflower as well as a re-enactment of what life was like for the early settlers at Plimoth Plantation. And yes, “Plimoth” is how the first pilgrim’s originally spelled Plymouth. Lots to see and do in a very scenic area.
See Ya!
