"The Mayflower stopped in Provincetown for a couple of weeks before moving on to Plymouth. Pilgrim Monument commemorates its short stint on the Cape, as well as the signing of the Mayflower Compact in Provincetown Harbor in 1620. At 252 feet, it's the tallest all-granite structure in the country. Ask any Provincetown regular, and they'll say that the monument, which rises over the horizon, is a familiar sight that welcomes them again and again to this seaside village." - Todd Plummer
