This was the best part of my trip to the area. I'm big on national history and seeing this was one of the best places I've been to see, smell, learn, and do. I'm sure in the regular tourist season it is bustling with more but for us it was great. I highly encourage anyone visiting to take the prescribed route from the visitor center, to the native area, followed by the crafts center and then to the Plimoth village. It sets you up in a wonderful way to think a d understand about the life there in a different way. In the native area the descended members of the actual tribe (I don't want to disrespect them by misspelling the tribal name) that lived there are available to answer all your questions and pique your interest from modern perspective looking back. Once you get to the Plimoth village proper the people speak to you as one from the time period. The craft area shows you very much how the crafts of the time period worked and looked giving you great perspective and a whole lot of hands on experience.
Overall we found the employees and re enactors to be friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. It was a little awkward to start a conversation with the Pilgrim settlers (when they asked where we we're from we said Colorado. Naturally it had never been heard of in that time period.) But to be honest if we time traveled then it WOULD be a very awkward conversation.
Overall excellent. If you can only do one historically related excursion in the area I'd suggest you do this one.
