Dedicated in 1910 to commemorate the first landing of the Pilgrims in Provincetown on November 21, 1620, the Pilgrim Monument is the tallest granite structure in the United States (252 feet). The panoramic views from the top of the Monument are truly spectacular.
The museum features exhibits on the Pilgrims, maritime history and the early days of modern American theater in Provincetown with Eugene O'Neill and the Provincetown Players.
THE BAS RELIEF
Located at the base of the Monument on Bradford St. in the center of town, this famous bronze relief depicts the signing of the Mayflower Compact by the pilgrims in 1620 shortly after making their first landfall in Provincetown.
CAPE COD GALLERIES AND ANTIQUE STORES
If "antiquing" is your thing, then the Cape offers a veritable treasure trove. Travel down Route 6 and visit Truro, Wellfleet, Orleans, and Route 6A for Brewster, Dennis, and Sandwich. Route 6A between Brewster and Sandwich also features some really interesting pottery galleries.
