Pilgrim Monument and Provincetown Museum

The oldest nonprofit educational, tax-exempt 501(c)3 organization on Cape Cod. President Theodore Roosevelt laid the cornerstone in 1907.

The Pilgrim Monument was founded in 1892 as the Cape Cod Pilgrim Memorial Association—Cape Cod’s oldest not-for-profit organization. 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. The Cape Cod Pilgrim Memorial Association built the Pilgrim Monument to honor the Pilgrims’ first landing in Provincetown. In 1910, President William Howard Taft dedicated the finished 252-foot tower. In 1910, the Cape’s first building built to house a museum opened at the base of the monument, to educate the public about Provincetown’s role in Pilgrim history and American history. Today, millions of visitors and generations of local residents have admired and climbed the 252 foot granite Pilgrim Monument for almost 100 years. The Provincetown Museum is a charming mix of the old and the new. The permanent exhibits retain the charm of an old-fashioned history museum. Exhibits highlight the arrival of the Mayflower Pilgrims, the town’s rich maritime history, the early days of modern American theater in Provincetown, and the building of the monument. There is also 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.

Thank you Chet Domitz and The Provincetown Independent for highlighting the exhibition currently on display in The East Gallery at The Pilgrim Monument and Provincetown Museum.

There’s still time to come up and see Part ll of “A Town That Worked: Makers, Workers, and Risk-Takers” showing through September 20.

Part lll “The Only Constant is Change” will take it’s place on October 8, 2026.

Connecting with so many people and businesses to bring this series to life has been fascinating. We greatly appreciate everyone who had the foresight to keep and cherish these important pieces of Provincetown history.

When Sam Tager and Courtney Hurst started interviewing people for “Makers, Workers & Risk-Takers,” John Yingling, who opened Spiritus Pizza in 1971, told them to talk to Joel Grozier in […]
