The True Story Behind Plymouth Rock
(via Smithsonian) American children all learn the story of the Pilgrims, who landed at Plymouth Rock in what is now Massachusetts in 1620. The colony of English immigrants faced a terrible first winter, but a bountiful harvest the next summer. We’re more familiar with this colony than the others who went through the same thing because we still celebrate that bountiful harvest in our Thanksgiving holiday. But what do we know about Plymouth Rock itself? Read the saga of that rock at Smithsonian.
