About Pilgrim Hall Museum

Pilgrim Hall Museum sits in downtown Plymouth and presents the early story of English colonists and Indigenous peoples in New England. Its collection includes 17th-century objects, some of which arrived on the Mayflower. The museum also claims to be the oldest public museum in the United States operating without interruption, having opened in 1824. Visitors can plan a trip around its galleries, guided group orientations, and seasonal opening hours.
