Pilgrim Memorial State Park, Plymouth, Massachusetts

It's actually kind of easy to not realize you are visiting the Pilgrim Memorial State Park since it's so small and it's not much like many of the other State Parks in Massachusetts. There really is no entrance or anything to specifically call out the park. Instead, the 11-acre park encompasses Plymouth Rock along with other portions of the immediate shore front in the town of Plymouth, Massachusetts. It's also adjacent to or close to several of the major attractions in the village of Plymouth.

Why a State Park for a rock? Plymouth is where the Pilgrims first landed in the new world and set up their first colony. Plymouth Rock, within the park is supposedly the rock where the Pilgrims made anchor. This park protects the rock and the immediate area around it and is host to the replica of the Pilgrims' ship.
