History Lesson Time! Did you know that the original settlers of Plymouth Colony weren’t actually called “Pilgrims” until 175 years after they landed? William Bradford, the colony’s first governor, did use the word once in his journal. But the group referred to themselves as “Separatists” or “Dissenters” because they disagreed with the Church of England.

Back then, disagreeing with the church was a great way of getting thrown in jail. Luckily thisPilgrim Women’s Costume is a great way to get your Mayflower on without worrying about your well-being. Worst-case scenario, someone might ask you to build them some furniture or raise a barn. It’s not a bad skill to know, after all.
