Are the rare breed animals in the Nye Barn and the 1627 English Village direct descendents of the animals that came on Mayflower?
No. The animals you see today are from stock acquired by Plimoth Plantation from Canada, New Zealand and various locations across the US. These animal breeds were brought to Plimoth Plantation as part of our efforts to conserve these rare and heritage breed animals, as well as to provide our 1627 English Village with accurate livestock.
