Mission and programs · 2025

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 69-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.

The first 25 listed. 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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

The four totals the IRS asks for on Part I of the Form 990, as filed. A dash means the figure was not present on the return — not that it was zero.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Taxable family

From Schedule R Parts I, III and IV: entities that legally are the filer, and taxable partnerships, corporations and trusts it is related to. These record ownership and control, not shared board members or money.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
