The iconic vessel returns to Plymouth
If you're from around these parts you would have to be living under a rock (but not under the famous one!) to not know that Plymouth, America's Hometown, is celebrating its 400th Anniversary. For 400 years young, we think Plymouth is looking better than ever. Known for its classic charm, history, cranberries, Thanksgiving, amazing restaurants and seafood, inns & spas, plus boating and beaches, Plymouth is a modern day South Shore hot spot.
Yes - 2020 marks the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower voyage and the founding of Plimoth Colony. The Mayflower II has been missing from Plymouth Harbor while undergoing several years of restoration in Mystic, CT, and its return to Plymouth Harbor on August 10, flanked by a flotilla of pleasure craft, was a spectacular sight, indeed! If you weren't able to watch this journey from Mystic, CT, through the Cape Cod Canal, and on to Plymouth, our friends from Plimoth Patuxet have shared some special images and video, and we scoured social media for the most spectacular content so you don't have to. 🤓
Welcome Home, Mayflower II!
P.S. Starting today she is open to visitors! Click here for details and tickets.

Our Marine Unit had a special mission today. Marine 9 escorted Mayflower II from @MMAAdmissions, where she was docked over the weekend, to her home berth near @plimoth Plantation. The trip was the final leg of the ship's journey home after a 3-year restoration in Mystic, Conn. pic.twitter.com/lOm70geR9G

Fantastic to see the fully restored Mayflower II complete its homecoming voyage to the same spot where the Pilgrims disembarked in 1620. #Mayflower400 pic.twitter.com/K7y5v4lytx

Of course, The Pinehills has a pretty rich history, too and we are proud to preserve and share those stories. We invite you to visit The Pinehills and learn about what's happening here. In addition to homes of every kind, we're proud to say that nearly two-thirds of our more than 3,000 acres will remain natural and recreational open space.
Might Plymouth and The Pinehills be a place for you to call home?
