Plimoth Patuxet (formerly Plimoth Plantation) is a not-for-profit complex of living-history museums in Plymouth, Massachusetts, first established in 1947. The site reconstructs the original settlement of the Plymouth Colony and includes an adjoining Wampanoag indigenous home site. Interpretive focus centers on the early 17th century, the Pilgrims' 1620 arrival, and related colonial history; the institution undertakes ongoing research, historical archaeological excavation, curation, and public-history programming. Sources describe the museum campus as a center for reconstruction, costumed interpretation, exhibitions, and scholarship rather than a site of supernatural claims. No paranormal phenomena, hauntings, apparitions, or other supernatural events are reported in the provided materials.
