Steve’s take
It's a rock. Behind a Roman portico. With '1620' carved on it. You will visit for four minutes and leave with one of those 'huh' photos that defines a road trip. Free, kid-friendly, never crowded for long. Pair it with the Mayflower II at the dock 200 yards north — a full-scale replica of the original ship that's a lot more impressive than the rock. Easy off-and-on from I-95 via Route 3.
