Plymouth Rock
When the pilgrims landed at what would become Plymouth, Massachusetts they stepped off their ship, the Mayflower and onto this rock, which bears the year they disembarked, 1620. Previously they had landed at what would become Provincetown, but they couldn't make a go of it there. Here they found foodstores left by local Indians, many of whose villeges had been decimated by diseases they caught from the first Europeans they encountered, Portuguese fishermen.
This was as close as I could get to the rock, which is roped off to prevent visitors from carving off a chunk.
