Leiden American Pilgrim Museum, Colonial history museum near Hooglandse Kerk, Netherlands.

The museum displays period furnishings, maps, and engravings in a preserved medieval house from the 14th century in central Leiden.

Religious refugees from England settled in Leiden from 1608 to 1620 before departing on the Mayflower toward Plymouth Colony in North America.

The collection includes 16th and 17th-century maps by Gerard Mercator and artifacts illustrating daily life during the Pilgrim period in Leiden.

Guided tours in English or French operate Thursday through Saturday from 1 PM to 5 PM, with closures on major holidays.

The medieval building contains two distinct rooms: one depicting a Pilgrim-era residence and another preserving original 14th-century features.
