Pilgrims

Mayflower

In 1620, the pilgrims sailed from England to America on the Mayflower. The first Winter in America was hard for the pilgrims. The Native Americans taught the pilgrims to grow corn and catch fish. After the harvest of 1621, the pilgrims and the Native American had a three day celebration with lots of food and games.
