So keep on reading to find out the best places you have to go visit in the fall!
The National Monument to the Forefathers is a significant sculpture completed in 1889 believed to be the largest granite statue in the country. It commemorates the legacy of the Pilgrims from the Mayflower along with their challenges, successes and perseverance as they played a pivotal role in shaping American ideals.
The 81 foot statue represents liberty, education, and justice. A visit to this monument offers an insightful glimpse into America’s historical foundation and the principles from the roots of its development. For visitors and locals alike, it serves as one of few tangible links to the sacrifices and aspirations of those who laid the groundwork for the nation.
Plymouth is primarily known as America’s hometown, but did you know that it’s also home to a large variety of paranormal speculations? There are three historical sites you definitely should stop by (maybe at night if you’re brave enough) and see if the stories are true.
Burial Hill is one of the oldest burial sites in the U.S. It’s where the first pilgrims, Mayflower passengers, and a mass grave of sailors from 1778 are all buried. The haunting of the hill is thought to be due to Pukwudgies – an imp-like creature from Wampanoag lore. Many people speculate the events occur due to a longtime Native American curse. Visit the hill and craft your own opinion!
The story of the Spooner House is rather creepy. The family that owned the house for over 200 years before it became a museum left behind five generations of heirlooms and antiques, but not only that, they left behind the spirit of a little girl. One who passed due to medical issues is now said to invite certain visitors into the home and is often spotted peering out of windows.
