Here visitors may speak with native interpreters in period dress as well as uniformed staff. While staff do not role play—they explain Wampanoag history from a modern perspective—the outdoor site depicts Native American life in the 17th-century. On display are wetuash (houses), including the puttakaukan (round house), and the neesquttow (house of two fires). These homes are beside gardens that reveal the traditional method of planting corn, beans, and squash in mounds. Interpreters carry on many activities of daily life, including house construction, making a mishoon (dugout canoe), cooking a meal of bluefish, duck or sobaheg (stew) over the fire, and tending and weeding the garden. Staff also utilize 17th-century technology and materials to re-create baskets, pottery, wooden bowls, stone tools and many other items.

Plimouth Plantation also includes the 1627 English Village and the Mayflower II, a full-scale replica sailing vessel.
