Support a special project at the Museum in any of the following areas:

HISTORIC INTERPRETATION:

17^th-Century English Village and Mayflower II Costuming

Funds needed: $6,000 for one season of shoes, $7,500 for one season of hats and headwear

From March to November, more than 50 Colonial role players portray many of Plymouth’s best known names on Mayflower II and at our 17^th-Century English Village. Combine that with our Education Outreach programs and you can imagine the wear and tear on our handmade, reproduction period costumes and accessories.

Shoes cost approximately $110 a pair and are manufactured in England and the United States. Handmade hats cost approximately $140.

Wampanoag Homesite Costuming 

Funds needed: $9,600 for one season of wardrobe expenses 

Traditional clothing of a 17^th-century Wampanoag includes a mantle, skirt or breech cloth, leggings and moccasins handmade by Plimoth Plantation Wampanoag clothing and textile artisans.

Often made from deer, moose and elk hide, as well as a variety of furs, it costs approximately $400 to dress each interpreter for the year.

EDUCATION:

Bring Plimoth Plantation to the Classroom! Fund a Field Trip

 
A gift of $300 provides your favorite school with an educational visit from a Colonial role player or Native interpreter

These unique educational programs offer the opportunity for a Native interpreter or Colonial role player to present a dynamic hands-on history program to a local and/or deserving school of your choice. These hour-long presentations include a teacher’s guide, the chance for students to see and hold 17^th-century reproduction artifacts and to take part in various classroom activities.
