The Pilgrim Monument & Provincetown Museum by emilienoelle
The Pilgrim Monument is the highest point in Provincetown and can be seen from miles away. It was built to commemorate the landing of the Pilgrims there in November 1620, before they went to Plymouth. (Most people don't know that they landed here first.)According to the museum's literature it is the tallest granite structure in the United States, and the view from the top is amazing.
The museum itself tells a lot about the history of Provincetown and the Cape, including information about the Mayflower Compact which the Pilgrims drew up and signed in Provincetown. It also hosts a number of nice visiting exhibits. Coming here is a great thing to do on a day when the weather isn't so good for the beach.
