In the 1624 English Village section of the museum, trained first-person ("historical") interpreters speak, act and dress appropriately for the period, interacting with visitors by answering questions, discussing their lives and viewpoints and participating in tasks such as cooking, planting, blacksmithing and animal husbandry. Third-person ("modern") interpreters answer guests' questions that the first-person interpreters cannot. The 1624 English Village loosely follows a timeline from late March through November (the months when the museum is open) of 1624, depicting day-to-day life and seasonal activities, as well as featuring key historical events such as funerals and special celebrations.
