Living History can be a hard sell.
The Plimoth Plantation is a living history museum of the landing of the Pilgrims and the Native People that met them. The Native People on the site are true Native Americans, and portray the common member of the nation they represent. There are no large feathered bonnets and the Watu is very basic. The visitor next enters a 1627 village of people doing 1627 things in 1627 garb. Very basic, no frills. Many, many myths are shattered.
This Thursday you may want to think about it. There was no Turkey on the table on the original "Thanksgiving" day harvest feast. Another Great American Myth.
