Taking the route of the Pilgrims landing all starts here. The museum is well set up and sets the story with artifacts, and timeline and explanation of the first landing. Step outside and walk to the monument. If you are in better physical health to climb the steps to the very top, you will get a breathtaking 360 degree view and a sticker at the end of the adventure! The day we went there were gale force wind warnings and rain. It really brought home what those early settlers went through and how brave they truly were!

This park is beautiful overlooking the veterans beach. There is big place for bbq parties and we saw a lot of people having birthday parties for their kids. There are restroom and showers to rinse after going to the beach. A lot of parking space as well.

A plaque marks the spot where Pilgrims first came ashore in Provincetown, Massachusetts.

This is a free, historical site. This is where a small group of Pilgrims came ashore scouting the land to determine if this would be a good place to settle. It's free and easy to find. What more can you ask for?
