The Pilgrim Monument is the centerpiece of the town.
It was founded in
1892. Its purpose is to commemorate the Mayflower Pilgrims’ first landing
in the New World in Provincetown, in November 1620. Here the Pilgrims spent 5
weeks exploring the tip of Cape Cod, before they sailed on to Plymouth. They
also drew up and signed the Mayflower Compact, which established the rule of
law for the new land.
Lovely Victorian/Cape Cod style houses
