A Day in the Life of Plimoth Plantation Original Paintings and Text by Christopher Peterson Welcome to Plimoth Plantation. An owl is quickly looking for his food as his home echoes, “It’s dawn.” The water in the river moves slowly along on its journey. If you peek into the sky, you can see the sun shining over the horizon. The mishoons are resting against the leafy grass. A Wampanoag family is about to wake up because they hear the owl say, “Whoo, whoo.”
