Fragment of Plymouth Rock, 1620
Add to SetSummary
Legend has it that Plymouth Rock was the Mayflower Pilgrims' landing site in 1620, though references don't appear until 1715. In the 1770s, the rock broke into three pieces when moved into town. These were later reunited on the original site. This fragment came from a piece that had been in private hands and chipped away at over the years.
