Plymouth Rock is the traditional site of disembarkation of William Bradford and the Mayflower Pilgrims who founded Plymouth Colony in 1620. It is an important symbol in American history. There are no contemporaneous references to the Pilgrims' landing on a rock at Plymouth, and it is not referred to in Edward Winslow's Mourt's Relation (1620–21) or in Bradford's journal Of Plymouth Plantation (1620–47). The first known written reference to the rock's existence is in 1715, when it is described in the town boundary records as "a great rock." The first written reference to Pilgrims landing on a rock is found 121 years after they landed, in 1741. A rock traditionally identified as Plymouth Rock, weighing an estimated in its original form, has long been memorialized on the shore of Plymouth Harbor in Plymouth, Massachusetts.History of Plymouth RockPlymouth Rock — geologically classified as a Dedham granodiorite boulder and a glacial erratic — had lain at the foot of Cole's Hill from generation to generation until the century after the Pilgrims' landing in 1620. When plans were afoot to build a wharf at the Pilgrims' landing site in 1741, a 94-year-old elder of the church named Thomas Faunce, then living three miles from the spot, declared that he knew the precise boulder on which the Mayflower pilgrims first stepped when disembarking. As recounted in the 1897 book, The Story of the Pilgrim Fathers, the standard story goes:

The Harlow Old Fort House is a historic First Period house at 119 Sandwich Street in Plymouth, Massachusetts.HistorySergeant William Harlow built the house in 1677 using timbers from the Pilgrims' original fort on Burial Hill built in 1621–1622. Harlow received permission to use the timbers after the fort was torn down at the end of King Philip's War in 1677. The Harlow family owned the house for nearly 250 years until the Plymouth Antiquarian Society acquired the building and hired Joseph Everett Chandler to restore the plasterwork in the house. The Antiquarian Society opened it to the public in 1921. In 1974 the house was added to the National Register of Historic Places. The house is still open to the public and features seventeenth-century re-enactors.Images

STUDIO, an artists space, is a choice-based art studio for children ages 7-18. Studio will offer several art projects to choose from in each studio session. Studio sessions will be kept small at a maximum of 10 artists per session. I will give my artists the opportunity to think creatively and to search beyond what is known when they are inventive. Choice-based art instruction enables students to discover what is means to be an artist through the authentic creation of artwork. It gives artists freedom to follow their own ideas and to learn by taking risks. Studio is an affiliate to, and located, at Second Nature Social Skills, www.secondnaturesocialskills.com, in downtown Plymouth. Studio is taught by me, Kate Vannata, I am a soon to be graduate of Bridgewater State University with a major in Art and a minor in Secondary Education. I am MTEL certified and am excited to begin my teaching career with you and your young artists.
