Description

This 252-foot granite monument was erected between 1907 and 1910 to commemorate the country's first European pilgrims who came to America in 1620 across the Atlantic Ocean. It also commemorates the signing of the Mayflower Compact--the first document written and signed by the pilgrims that established democratic government and laid out a few laws of their new settlement. Visitors can climb the structure's 116 stairs and 60 ramps to reach the top of the monument, where they'll be rewarded with spectacular panoramic views of Provincetown and the Cape Cod Bay.
