Pilgrim Memorial State Park, State memorial park in Plymouth, United States.
Pilgrim Memorial State Park is a waterfront park spanning about 17 acres along Plymouth Harbor, featuring monuments, gardens, and walking paths overlooking Massachusetts Bay. The site was developed with significant shoreline reinforcements to protect the historic structures and sites.
The park was established in 1920 to mark the 300th anniversary of the Pilgrim landing. This creation represented official recognition of the site as a memorial to early colonial settlement.
The National Monument to the Forefathers and Plymouth Rock hold deep meaning for visitors interested in European colonial origins in North America. The site draws people seeking to understand and reflect on this chapter of early settlement.
The park is open from sunrise to sunset and offers free admission with parking available nearby. Visitors should prepare for variable weather conditions since the site sits directly on the water.
The most recognizable feature of the park is a granite portico designed by renowned architects McKim, Mead and White. This architectural element defines the site's appearance and draws many photographers.
