After the visit, continue south, making a scenic stop at the historic Dexter Grist Mill in Sandwich for a brief look at the working water‑powered mill.

Find HotelsIf you’d like to extend the trip, consider spending the next morning exploring the historic downtown of Dexter or visiting nearby Cape Cod Canal before heading back. To shorten the itinerary, you could skip the Dexter Grist Mill stop and head straight from Plimouth Plantation to The Charm on Main, saving travel time while still enjoying the scenic MA 6A route.
