If you saw Plymouth Rock as a young boy you probably remember it being a lot bigger than it is. We lived in Plymouth many years ago and everyone who came to visit was sorely disappointed by it’s size. We now live about 15 miles away and ,frankly, it’s still pretty small. It’s also pretty well protected.
It was in the early 60’s, when i first looked upon Plymouth Rock. There was no ‘tourist trap’ fittings, as another wrote. To an OTIS AFB 4th grader, it was pretty big!
On a side note, the good ship Mayflower, sure looks bigger on screen than it did at the mooring.
