Fun Facts About The Commonwealth of Massachusetts

 

Just in time for Thanksgiving weekend, the official historic rock of Massachusetts is Plymouth Rock. There's a lot of myth surrounding the rock of whether or not the Pilgrims actually landed on this spot. In 1983, the legislature acknowledged the rock's historical significance.

  1. It must be very cold in your place!!!
    Interesting video, thank you!
    See. You could use this in German schools to combine history and English lessons.

    My English-teacher, Peter May, he used Rock Music but if he taught these days still he would use this, I am sure!

  2. Ha ha. Funny MA has a historic rock and a state rock. But you are right about the timing of this share. Hope you're having a nice start to your weekend.

  4. My father used to drag us around the northeast to all sorts of historical places. I remember (even as a kid) being totally unimpressed with Plymouth Rock! LOL

  5. Humans have long history with rocks. I hope this rock is preserved in the future to remember what occurred.
