Attractions Along the Way
If you take MA-3, make sure you stop by Plymouth Rock. This American icon is a must as you drive through Plymouth. Legend has it; the boulder was the landing point for the first pilgrims in the 1620s. There isn’t any written evidence that this is true, but an elderly man once claimed that his father was on the Mayflower, and they made their first step on that rock.
Although it looks like just an ordinary rock, millions of people visit the boulder because of what it stands for. You can see it for yourself with a quick stop during your road trip!
