Plymouth County, Massachusetts

Plymouth Location Map Massachusetts

You can’t talk about American history without mentioning Plymouth Rock. It’s right there in Plymouth County, Massachusetts, on the state’s South Shore. This is where the Pilgrims first set foot in the New World.

But Plymouth County is more than just its famous rock. It stretches from the Atlantic coast inland, covering a mix of suburban towns and rural areas. Cranberry bogs are all over the landscape.

The county has its share of beaches too. Duxbury and Marshfield are local favorites for catching some sun. Historians will love exploring the Plimoth Patuxet Museums, where you can step back in time to the 17th century. For a taste of modern life, head to Brockton, the county’s biggest city. It’s called the “City of Champions” thanks to boxing legends Rocky Marciano and Marvin Hagler.
