8. Plimouth Plantation: Step into the place and you will feel that you have been transported in the 17th century through a time machine.
It is a living museum in Plymouth, Massachusetts, USA. Get a look at Plymouth Rock, where colonists first set foot on American soil -- you won't believe how tiny it is.
Then board the Mayflower II, a full-size replica of the original. Costumed actors recreate what it was like on the crossing and in the settlement.
As you roam through the 17th century village, you'll encounter farmers, cooks, blacksmiths and other residents, and hear their stories about life in the New World.
