Speak like a Pilgrim!

The English Colonists at Plymouth (many people call them “Pilgrims” today) talked a little differently than we do today. If you visit our 1627 English Village here at the museum, you might notice that the townspeople say words you know in a funny way, or even say some words you don't know at all! That's because they are speaking in 17th-century English, not 21st-century modern English.

The website below is fun to use with kids- it teaches them how to speak like a pilgrim! Have fun!
