The Pilgrim Story

When Pilgrims died during their first rugged winter, each was buried secretly in Cole's Hill in Plymouth, so the Indians would not know how much the daring band had shrunk.  Now Cole's Hill is haunted by the shades of those Pilgrims, nearly as animated as they were in life.

The Wax Museum, located on this same historic site overlooking Plymouth Rock . . . gives a graphic portrayal in the magic of light . . . sound . . . and animation . . . recreating the persecuted years in England . . . the escape to Holland . . . the Mayflower voyage . . . and the landing at Plymouth . . . where the rain . . . thunder . . . and lightning . . . or a raging storm . . . make you feel a part of this courageous band of people.
