What did you learn at Plimoth?

I am curious to know what people learned at Plimoth Plantation that you didn't know before.

For instance, though I knew that the traditional "first Thanksgiving" story was a national myth, I didn't know about the spring of 1621 treaty that might have inspired the Wampanoag warriors (minus women and children) to make their visit. Did they arrive out of concern that their 'allies' were being attacked?

I also learned (on the way home, from our Lead Scholar, Tom Doughton) that the Wampanoag settlements (& other Massachusetts settlements) had been under attack from Micmacs coming down the coast from Maine. Is it doing good history to at least raise the question that the Wampanoag warriors might have thought Plimoth was under attack from their enemies to the north?

We only have the brief reference to the event in Winslow's letter and the fact that we know there was a 'treaty', plus the additional information that the natives of coastal Massachusetts had been under attack. Is this enough information to make an educated guess?

What did you find out and what questions have you had since our visit?
