National Monument to the Forefathers
Monument
At 81 feet, this is the largest solid granite monument in the United States. Dedicated in 1889, it depicts allegorical figures representing the principles the Pilgrims valued: Faith, Morality, Education, Law, and Liberty. The monument reflects the 19th-century view that Plymouth's founding principles led directly to the Revolution.
