If you visit Plymouth, you can see THE Plymouth Rock. While smaller than most people think, it is a part of history, and I think everyone should visit it at least once. It's free to see, right on the waterfront, and about a 2 minute walk from the Mayflower II.

Everyone knows Plymouth Rock, but how many have visited Plymouth's other historic rock? Sacrifice Rock on Old Sandwich Road is the Antiquarian Society's oldest and perhaps least known historic site. Centuries before the arrival of English settlers to the area, this ancient landmark was an important stop for wayfarers. Travelers left small branches or stones atop the rock perhaps as a gesture of sacrifice, or to receive the blessing of safe passage -- the full meaning of the custom is shrouded by time.
