The Things The Pilgrims Left Behind
The Pilgrims knew how important it was to plan ahead and have a Will prepared. Their wills and probate inventories revealed information about the Pilgrim’s daily lives and also included some captivating stories that we would not have otherwise known about today.
Lisa Pennington, Gonvernor General of The Mayflower Society, shows some of these interesting items and shares some of these fascinating stories with us in the Mayflower Society’s video “The Things the Pilgrims Left Behind.”
