PLYMOUTH, Mass. – Visitors to Plimoth Plantation will find two new programs: a weekly story hour for children and a reenactment of what a religious service would have been like in the 17th-century colony.
The story hour is held Fridays at 2 p.m. at the living history attraction's Family Discovery Station. Guests will hear entertaining children's tales from the colony, with art and play components.
The other program is designed in part to dispel a myth that the Pilgrims believed in religious freedom. Religious practices in the colony were mandated by its founders.
"Today the separation of church and state is part of the American experience, but 400 years ago religion was integral to all aspects of life in colonial New England," said Ellie Donovan, Plimoth Plantation's Acting Executive Director.
Visitors can take part in the service and can ask questions. The program is offered Thursdays and Sundays at 10:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. through August.
