A vandal has struck Plymouth Rock but the spray-painted mess was quickly cleaned up.

The criminal, who has not been caught, spray-painted the word 'LIES' on the chunk of rock on Monday night.

Plymouth Rock is engraved with '1620' to mark the Pilgrims' arrival in the New World.

1. We're from Massachusetts. My family refers to it as "a potato in a cage".

It is disappointingly smaller than it's hype would lead one to believe.

And the history it represents is mostly fabricated.

2. I've never heard that but its exactly what it looks like....

It isn't even thought to be the real spot where the Mayflower landed is it?

History is chock full of that kind of nonsense.

3. It's sad to see this happened.

The Plymouth Rock was one of my first school field trip...just love it. I lived in Plymouth County in my youth.

4. Its much smaller than I imagined as a child....

I've never seen it but its on "the list" of things to do.

5. Plymouth Rock was big

in my eyes has a young student and in my imagination. The Pilgrims landing and all. I did fairly well in history, I was always fascinated by it.

They have a place called Plymouth Plantation, they put on shows and art work and of of course a feast for Thanksgiving...check it out when you visit.
