The Pilgrim Monument commemorates the history of the Mayflower Pilgrims, their arrival and stay in Provincetown Harbor, and the signing of the Mayflower Compact. It is the tallest all-granite structure in the United States. Visitors can walk to the top on a series of stairs and ramps. During the climb, you’ll see many interior stones donated by cities, towns, and organizations from all over the United States. The view from the top is spectacular.

The inside museum is a charming mix of the old and the new. The permanent exhibits highlight the town’s rich maritime history, the early days of modern American theater in Provincetown, and the building of the monument.
