The Pilgrim's monument has been Provincetowns most prominent landmark since 1910. At 253 feet it is the tallest all granite structure in the United States.





On November 20, 1620 the Pilgrims dropped the Mayflower anchor for the first time in the new world-not Plymouth where they later settled but in the harbor at Provincetown. Incorporated in 1727, Ptown developed into an imporant fishing and whaling center in the 1800's. Now it is primarily a resort and center for the arts.
