If you love winter snow scenes, cozy and warm accommodations, hot chocolate beside a fire and peaceful walks that reflect New England winter beauty, Plymouth County is the place to be this winter. A muchneeded getaway will refresh, revive and recharge your spirit.

A lively art scene abounds during the winter months in America’s Hometown –Plymouth, Massachusetts. A strong schedule of theater exists at the Spire Center and at Memorial Hall, and art takes center stage at Plymouth Center for the Arts and at countless art galleries in the historic district.

A road trip through the South Shore will delight you as you pass cranberry bogs, small towns with New England charm and beautiful country roads. These typical New England towns with church steeples and town greens will make your getaway a comfy, relaxing experience especially when you find the perfect bed and breakfast or inn and amble along the downtown streets where unique non-chain shops offer some of the best gifts and memorabilia. A planned history adventure will take you to the numerous towns the Mayflower pilgrims settled. Do not miss Alden House in Duxbury and learn about pilgrims John and Priscilla Alden.

The Metro south region of the county has one of the finest craft museums in the country, the Fuller Craft Museum in Brockton. While there, head downtown to see the incredible Civil War-era architecture of City Hall or take in the history of the city's shoemaking claim to fame at the Brockton Historical Society.

In Cranberry Country where area farms in these small country towns provide visitors with a view of the colorful harvesting of this truly American berry, winter brings views of iced-over ponds, snow-dusted trees and country scenes. You may decide to stop in at The A. D. Makepeace Company in Wareham to grab a bite at their market. Families especially will enjoy Edaville Family Theme Park

in Carver and their Christmas Festival of Lights in December.

Plymouth County has been welcoming visitors since 1620 when the Mayflower pilgrims landed in Plymouth Bay. If you have not made it here, you owe it to yourself to experience a piece of Americana that has long held the heart of what New England is all about.
