National Monument to the Forefathers

The National Monument to the Forefathers is located on an approximately 11-acre, hilltop site on Allerton Street in Plymouth, just west of Plymouth Harbor and downtown. The 81 ft-tall granite monument consists of an octagonal base surrounded by figures representing morality, law, education and liberty and surmounted by an allegorical representation of faith. Four marble panels mounted on the base depict scenes from Pilgrim history.
