Join us November 6-10 as we walk the ancient paths of these early settlers in America’s Hometown, Plymouth, MA. The accounts of our forefathers are beyond remarkable as they ventured to the New World for a new start where they could worship freely. It’s a fascinating and inspiring story told on the ground where it happened—far different, and far better, than what most of us were taught.

Join us in Plymouth, and drink deeply of the true history of the founding of America. You will find that, as bad as things seem now, we haven’t experienced anything near what those 102 souls endured that landed in Plymouth. The harsh climate, sickness and starvation killed half of them the first year, and yet they assembled, along with invited Indian guests, the following harvest season specifically to give thanks to the Lord!

We hope to see you there!
