Plymouth does have more to offer! There is a replica village not far from the "rock" where you can see how the original pilgrims lived. It's fascinating and very rugged. All of the employees are in character and well informed of the history.

The same goes for the Mayflower tour. It's very interesting to learn of the challenges the early pilgrims experienced when they first arrived. It's not a large boat, BTW!

There is also a "ghost" tour through town that was enjoyable. Not a lot of ghosts but the tour takes place in the evening and you get to learn a lot of history of the period.

I suspect that the "rock" is symbolic but it marks the general area where the pilgrims were likely to have come ashore.
