Learn about America's early history at The Jenney, home to exhibits and tours exploring the Pilgrim story. The museum is in a historical building next to the site where Pilgrim John Jenney operated his gristmill in the 17th century. It houses rotating exhibits about early-American agriculture, industry, trade, and Jenney's life. Visitors can learn even more about American history by taking one of the tours that Leo Martin, an enthusiastic local historian, runs from the museum. Take a walking tour through Plymouth, understand Pilgrim economics, or visit nearby monuments. Reserve your place on a tour in advance. A visit to The Jenney represents just the start of the adventure when you use our Plymouth journey planning app to plot your vacation.

Full of history as the largest monument in the US. Walked it every morning, meeting other dog owners. It's a landmark visible from the bay.

Our walking tour with Leo was fantastic! The tour was well suited for all ages. Our younger and older children all enjoyed it. Leo has a great knowledge of the primary sources and tells the story...

If you are in Plymouth, don’t miss out on the best historical walking tour you will ever take. We enjoyed two wonderful tours around Plymouth from Leo Martin. He is highly knowledge, a treasure trove of factual & historical information regarding the Pilgrims & Plymouth. Leo and Nancy are wonderful people committed to preserving the true history of the Pilgrims. The Jenney Center museum was wonderful as well.

A wonderful daytime walking tour at a leisurely pace Our guide, Leo, was dressed in costume. He was highly knowledgeable about Plymouth history. We saw and learned a lot of things that we not have known if we had not gone on this tour. I would highly recommend.
