PROVINCETOWN – The Pilgrim Monument and Provincetown Museum will open for the season next week on Monday, April 1st and will celebrate with all-day free admission.
Come and enjoy an invigorating climb up the iconic 252-foot granite Monument with 116 steps and 60 ramps to take in the breathtaking 360-degree view of Provincetown.
For those who don’t want to climb the Monument, the beautiful grounds of the PMPM are the ideal setting to watch the hustle and bustle of the busy Provincetown Harbor.
The monument was built to commemorate the Pilgrims’ first landing in the “new world” in Provincetown. The Provincetown Museum exhibits the building of the monument, the arrival of the Mayflower Pilgrims, the town’s rich maritime history and the early days of modern American theater in Provincetown.
There is a recreation of a 19th century sea captain’s parlor at home and his quarters at sea, a diorama of the Mayflower Compact being signed aboard the Mayflower in Provincetown Harbor and a scale model of the first theater of the Provincetown Players.
Many exciting activities are planned in 2019 leading up to 2020 when a variety of festivities and educational programs will commence.
