At the museum, exhibited items include a large diorama of the Mayflower, and quill pens used by President Theodore Roosevelt to sign a bill that appropriated $40,000 to the Cape Cod Pilgrim Memorial Association. Among non-pilgrim artifacts are Provincetown's oldest fire engine and a nine-foot-long narwhal tusk.

This monument, visible from anywhere on the north side of the cape on a clear day, memorializes the landing of the pilgrims. Climb to the top for a great view and peruse the history preserved in the museum. A great starting place for a P-town adventure.
