Plimoth Plantation, a living history museum located in Plymouth, Massachusetts, changed its name to Plimoth Patuxet in 2019. The decision to change the name was based on several factors.   Firstly, the name Plimoth Plantation was considered by some to be historically inaccurate, as the English colonists who arrived in Plymouth in 1620 did not actually establish a plantation in the modern sense of the word. Instead, they built a settlement with homes, gardens, and workshops.   Secondly, the name Plimoth Plantation was seen by some as insensitive to the Native American Wampanoag people who had inhabited the area for thousands of years before the arrival of the English colonists. The new name, Plimoth Patuxet, reflects the fact that the Wampanoag people originally called the area Patuxet before the arrival of the English.   The name change was also part of a larger effort by the museum to re-evaluate and update its interpretation of the history of Plymouth and the interaction between the English colonists and the Wampanoag people. The museum has stated that the new name is intended to be more inclusive and reflective of the diverse perspectives and experiences of the people who lived in the area.
