Mission and programs · 2024
Mission
PLIMOTH PATUXET'S MISSION IS TO PROVIDE COMPELLING, EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES BUILT ON THOROUGH RESEARCH ABOUT WAMPANOAG PEOPLE AND THE COLONIAL ENGLISH COMMUNITY IN THE 1600S. A SMITHSONIAN AFFILIATE, THE MUSEUM SEEKS TO RE-CREATE THE PEOPLE, ARTIFACTS AND LANDSCAPE OF 17TH-CENTURY PLYMOUTH THROUGH ITS MAJOR LIVING HISTORY EXHIBITS, MAYFLOWER II, THE WAMPANOAG HOMESITE, 17TH-CENTURY ENGLISH VILLAGE, CRAFT CENTER AND PLIMOTH GRIST MILL.
Activities or mission (Part I)
PLIMOTH PATUXET IS THE LIVING HISTORY MUSEUM OF THE 17TH-CENTURY ATLANTIC WORLD BASED IN PLYMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS.
-
PLIMOTH PATUXET IS ONE OF AMERICA'S MOST HISTORICALLY AND CULTURALLY SIGNIFICANT MUSEUMS. EXHIBITS INCLUDE THE WAMPANOAG HOMESITE, 17TH-CENTURY ENGLISH VILLAGE, CRAFT CENTER, NYE BARN, PLIMOTH GRIST MILL, AND MAYFLOWER II. ADDITIONAL FACILITIES ON THE 130-ACRE CAMPUS CONTRIBUTE TO THE OVERALL GUEST EXPERIENCE AS WELL AS THEIR ENJOYMENT AND COMFORT. PLIMOTH PATUXET OWNS AND MAINTAINS THE MAYFLOWER II, A 68-YEAR OLD, FULL SCALE REPRODUCTION OF THE VESSEL THAT BROUGHT THE PILGRIMS TO PLYMOUTH. THE MUSEUM HAS A RICH COLLECTION OF ORIGINAL ARTIFACTS THAT SHOW DAILY LIFE BETWEEN 1500 AND 1700. THE ARTIFACTS COME FROM PLACES SUCH AS NEW ENGLAND, GREAT BRITAIN, AND THE NETHERLANDS, AND REPRESENT THE MATERIAL CULTURE THAT THE PILGRIMS AND WAMPANOAG WOULD HAVE KNOWN. MUSEUM RESEARCHERS AND ARTISANS USE THE ARTIFACTS TO HELP RE-CREATE THE LIVING HISTORY EXHIBITS GUESTS SEE AT PLIMOTH PATUXET. THE MUSEUM'S EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS HELP STUDENTS EXPLORE AND UNDERSTAND AMERICA'S FOUNDING STORY. A VISIT TO PLIMOTH PATUXET PROVIDES ACCESS TO HISTORIC PLACES AND EVENTS THAT ARE VIVIDLY BROUGHT TO LIFE IN AN EVOCATIVE ENVIRONMENT. IN ADDITION, PLIMOTH PATUXET LIVING HISTORY EDUCATORS BRING THE STORY OF PLYMOUTH'S EARLIEST NATIVE AND COLONIAL RESIDENTS TO TENS OF THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS IN CLASSROOMS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. STUDENTS WHO CANNOT VISIT OR BRING A PLIMOTH PATUXET EDUCATOR TO THEIR CLASSROOM CAN ENTER THE STORY THROUGH CURATED EXHIBITS AND TEACHER RESOURCES ON WWW.PLIMOTH.ORG.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
