The primary museum campus sits 2.5 miles south of the Mayflower II.
A combo ticket gives you access to both the ship and this main living history museum. The campus contains three main exhibits that explore the lives of the Pilgrims and the Indigenous Wampanoag people.
You need a car or shuttle to travel between the State Pier and this location. Bring a jogging stroller if you have small children, as the unpaved paths are difficult for standard models.
