The First Settlers

More than 350 years ago, a small group of Pilgrims landed at Plymouth, Massachusetts. Their voyage had been rough and their new life was filled with unbearable hardships. Thanks to a strong leader, Miles Standish, these brave settlers were able to survive their first months in the New World.

How were they able to pull through that difficult time? Join the Pilgrims as they set up their new colony and be there as they celebrate the end of their first year with a huge Thanksgiving feast!
