Plymouth Rock, an old piece of American history. You might think ‘Hey what is all the fuss over a rock?’ ,but this poor old rock went through a lot in about fifty years. The people of Plymouth said the Pilgrims stepped on Plymouth Rock. Some townspeople wanted to move the large rock from it’s place on the beach to the middle of the town square and others didn’t. The townspeople finally decided on a verdict. They would try to move it to its new location in the middle of the town. When they were moving the old rock from under the wharf,the top half broke off. The town decided to leave the bottom half there, and make a monument for the top half.
Months passed. Soon the town thought the top half of Plymouth Rock needed a better monument. So they tried to move Plymouth Rock again. This time they broke the top half in two. The townspeople cemented these two pieces back together and built a new place for it. Time passed and soon the people of Plymouth thought that the bottom half needed a monument too. The people tore up the wharf and built a monument for the bottom half of Plymouth rock. Soon the town realised that the two pieces belonged with each other. The people cemented the pieces back together. After a couple years, the city of Plymouth built an even better monument for this great big piece of American history.

I was in either fourth or fifth grade when I got to go visit Plymouth rock, that's a vacation I'll never forget.
