Love this . I love history especially when it’s our country’s history. Thank you!

Thanks for these videos. You really make history come alive for us!

This is so interesting. I am a descendent of Mr. Soule, and I imagine thousands of others are as well. I was vaguely aware of your organization for years, but I just happened to find your videos several days ago. Thank you for all of your wonderful presentations. This is the kind of history that should be taught in schools.

I am a direct descendent of the Mayflower. One of the passengers is my ancestor and I have long form documentation as well. I have never heard of this society. I was also born on Cape Cod, MA. LOL I have ancestors from Sandwich and Chatham. I also have ancestors who settled in CT in 1603 and were clergy and part of the inception of the Congregational Church. I have direct ancestors from the Revolutionary War with long form documentation.

Thank you Lisa for this tour. We were there in June 2024. I only wish I had this information as we were wandering around town. We did walk down the alley way, Leyden St., Burial Hill, Meeting House. etc. Will have to return to check out #16 Leyden St. for John Howland's house, my ancestor.

Very well researched and presented. We visited in the 399th year (figured 400 would be too crowded). I wish we'd taken this walk with our grandson - he's 13th from Remember Allerton.

Leyden is a lovely town in the Netherlands. So is Delftshaven where the pilgrims had their last cburch service before setting sail - one of my cousins was baptized in that church.

Wonderful! Thank you for creating and sharing this walk. I'm definitely saving it to use as reference for a (hopefully soon) future visit.

Loved this! Very well done. Thank you!

This was a very interesting historical presentations. People from all over the world each year visit Plymouth and take in the historic sites. However, I wonder how many people visit the actual site of the original colony which is Leyden street? I wonder what archaeological research would actually find on Leyden? Be that as it may, I’ve always enjoyed standing at the original sites of historical significance.
