The Mayflower Museum sits in Plymouth, Cornwall, with the exhibition beginning with Wampanoag history and culture thanks to an on-going partnership with members of the Native American tribal nation. You'll travel over three floors experiencing history and encounters, exploration and impacts, and commemoration and legacies, including a 'faces' room with 338 images, a 'forest' room exploring Wampanoag history and culture, a gallery introducing visitors to the 102 passengers, and displays featuring the 1970 commemorative model ship. There is also a new children's trail encouraging younger visitors to learn more. The museum is open for 'Twixmas', and with Plymouth station 0.9 miles away, Plymouth Hoe East beach 0.3 miles away, and 90 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays, it suits a wider visit to the area.
