Came here on a beautiful day. The monument is breathtaking for sure. The size and the amount of detail put into the granite is exquisite. Seeing in person is a wonderful experience. The space was open and the kids had fun exploring the area. Bathrooms were clean. This monument is a rare and exciting piece. I look forward to visiting again.

Finally, I went to this National Monument! It was a pink sky when I came upon this place, it was perfect! I will be visiting again soon!

Amazing and huge detailed and interesting very nice to see and read about

The monument is off the beaten path of Plymouth. It is only a few minutes away from the main strip of Plymouth. Very quiet and really interesting. Only takes a few mins to see and doesnt disappoint.

A bit off the main roads, but well worth the visit. Lots of other monuments to be seen in the area. An integral part of American history. Kids always seem to love it.

While this is a national monument, dont expect to see a large parking lot or great amenities. This is truly a monument and not a tourist attraction. Those who like monuments will find the one on the breathtaking side for size. I recommend taking in the quiet peace of the space.

Lovely historic monument! Walked up from the waterfront and relaxed in the shade as we looked at it. Amazing, Ive lived here my whole life but never really vacationed in my own town. I really do love my hometown ️

A not so hidden treasure worth the visit. Inspiring. Thought provoking. The expression of the true bedrock of the United States of America

This thing is huge, it’s funny it’s so tucked away most people don’t know it’s there. My father used to navigate his boat sighting it. Just north of Plymouth Rock & the Mayflower, it’s on a quiet side road. The day we went there were sporadic other visitors but we mostly had the place to ourselves. The sculptures are huge and detailed. Definitely take the time to go check it out.

Stunning and a must see if in Plymouth area. They say its too far from town tour guides but its about .8 miles uphill though. Downhill on way back. I think one should spend some time and take it in. Ponder the sacrifices of our fore fathers/mothers, also take in the true meaning as it tells a story/history of the foundation of this nation. The thing is huge and the largest of its type. Sad thing is I went to Plymouth on class trips several times and we never went there. Same goes for a friend whos wife grew up in Kingston(next town north). As she puts it Im ashamed to say I had never been there.Bring a seat if needed as there are none. Everyone needs to request they install benches

One of the best monuments I eve ever seen in this country. A must visit place for every Americans to remember the beginning of our history- Pilgrims. Grateful for the founding fathers! Its the forgotten truth!

This was an unexpected pleasure in the Plymouth area. The sixty foot stone monument is imposing and evocative, the statues and carvings were interesting.The site consists of a monument atop a small grassy hill with street parking, there wasnt anyone there besides my spouse and I on the weekday afternoon we visited.

Fantastic monument paying tribute to the original settlers who set out to find a land where they could exercise their faith and freedom.

The statue was huge and gorgeous! It was meaningful and important seeing such a beautiful piece of Pilgrim and Mayflower history & the foundation of what makes this country strong and free

A great piece of history and appreciation for our Founding Fathers .

There is another statue like this that sits in the Gettysburg National Cemetery. But what is spectacular about this monument compared to the other is that this has words on a the sides of the monument that helps describe the sculptures.

Beautiful monument, easy to get to and tour.

Love it wife and I stopped by took lots of pictures 9-5-20 around 2 pm Will return and will recommend this place 100% also great for having picnic

Very very cool. Worth checking out. The visitor center says it’s not walkable from town but it definitely is. It’s just not right downtown with everything else.

This monument was truly a work of art. 81ft tall 4 statues and numerous carvings.

This is a cool monument. There are all kinds of details on it to check out. When we went we were the only ones there, so it was quiet. Peaceful and interesting to walk around the monument and look at all of the carvings. Its also free, which is great.

A reality check on how this country was born and the founding pillars that kept America so great!

Good for a quick visit while sightseeing Plymouth. Room to set up for a picnik if you want

Very large monument in a big grass field. Not worth a visit.

Very large statue. A great place for a picnic

It is a beautiful and peaceful tourist spot, good for taking pictures, I liked to visit.

Amazing place though I wonder why the place lacks media attention let alone that there is nothing there to tell you about the history behind it. I got to know about it from Kick Cameron movie Monumental. A must see for anyone who want to know the real story how and why the piligrams came to America and the foundations on which USA was established

This gargantuan piece of granite is breathtaking. It was a ghost town at the monument for some reason, maybe because of COVID 19. I highly recommend to at least drive by.

This is a must see! Beautiful monument

A must see! This statute was beautiful and so big!

Amazing statue, well maintained grounds, peaceful area but no food store whenever youre hungry.

Every person in the US should see this monument. It makes you realize how our great country started and how we can get back to basic values of the greatness of this country.

This is just breathtaking to see and learn how it was made and why. The structure is just amazing. Do not miss this if you are in Plymouth.

A bunch of us took the bikes for a ride to Plymouth to see this monument. This thing is HUGE ! Beautiful monument to the settlers/passengers who sailed on the Mayflower from England to the New World, Plymouth Rock. Every name of every passenger who was aboard the Mayflower is on the monument. Its pretty cool. Definitely a must see. Take advantage of seeing this if youre ever in the area.

Finally got to get up-close to the monument after having looked on from a distance many years ago. It is much larger than I thought and very detailed. The gate was closed so I had to park on the road and walk up the granite steps into the park.

The low trees are nice to picnic under

Largest Granite monument in the United States dedicated in 1889 and a must see if you visit Plymouth

It was excellent .Its to bad they hide the monument away from the water front, much more interesting the the rock what ever that is. This is what our country was founded on GOD faith and liberty its sad to see we americans pushing GOD aside.

This is an impressive monument to the Pilgrims.

Amazing, seldom visited monument. Watch the Kirk Cameron YouTube video before visiting.

A wonderful piece of history that tells a story of our beginnings and of admirable qualities, we have shown it to the visiting grandkids (CA and MO), visiting extended family members, and many of our foreign friends who have come to visit us from around the world!! Very worthwhile seeing! Plenty of space to let the kids go running too!

Very impressive, glad we got to see it.

This is a really nice monument to our fore fathers. Hidden gem in Plymouth.

Terrific place to visit

Gorgeous 1889 statue! Huge! Towers above town. Lots of reading, easy to find, good parking, green grass for kids to tumble around...make this quick & free stop!

Just wow, this place is amazing, the design and skill used to make this is astonishing. I love this place!

Awesome place!!! I love this monument and it is powerful!!

One of THE most important monuments of our country!! It took 70 years to construct and is (I believe) the largest granite statue in the United States. The message this was to leave the generations that follow is POWERFUL. Awe inspiring!!!!!

The Forefathers Monument is a hidden treasure that everyone needs to see and while enjoying its beauty, also seek to understand the story it tells. Its there for all who look upon it to know and remember. We need to know the story, the whole, true story. Its there for all generations to know the true identity of this great Nation.

Easy to find and easy to park. Pretty cool monument!

Took the trolley. Beautiful largest granite statue!

The history behind this monument is incredible. Take a drive up there around sunset. You wont regret it!

Very impressive. The monument displays the values our country was founded on

This monument is a powerful representation of the way Christianity is knit into the fabric of our society. It shows us how to get back to the place we started from should we lose our way.

Amazing monument! I hope to visit someday soon after watching about this particular monument on the Kirk Cameron documentary Monumental. I pray this monument will stand as a testament to the faith and reliance on God these men and women had on their long hard journey just to arrive in this new land, for religious freedom, not to mention their hardwork once they arrived to set up a form of a self governing society all while relying on Gods faithfulness even in such dark and grim times.Man oh man have we strayed far as a country from what these original founders envisioned and setup. I love America! She is the greatest and most free country ever, but we are headed in the wrong direction morally as a country and NO politician can fix our problems. We cannot put our trust in any man or woman. As the Pilgrims understood, God is our only hope, that was true then and its true now.BTW thank you to everyone that posted pictures here, I may never make it there (because of health issues), but the posted photos have been a great help to me. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart! God bless!

Wonderful statue! Worth the trip to see!Do some research before so you will have a better understanding of what things represent. Wish the park offered more of an explanation on site. We picked up sandwiches from a local shop and had a great picnic! Tons on room to fly kites as well

Very cool spot, high above the water.

Heard about this monument from a local resident. Was very glad I took an opportunity to visit. Very inspiring to see and read the major principals our forefathers wanted future generations to know about the founding principals for our country.

Very interesting early influence monument. It commemorates the passengers of the Mayflower but only the men are named. Easy access and adequate parking. Beautifully carved granite.

It is so inspiring to know that my forefathers came to this country nearly 400 years ago. We learned that the first winter was extremely difficult for those first pilgrims and many died due to the very harsh conditions. We lost four of our ancestors along with the many others who perished. We owe a debt of gratitude for what did to make it possible to enjoy the many freedoms we have including religious freedom.

Handsome looking monument with a great view.

THEE most important place to see of our history. Why isnt this taught in our schools????? Its appauling

This is most likely the most underrated tourist stop in Plymouth. The statue itself is a work of engineering genus, art, and history. There was literally no one there but my group when we showed up and its really cool. A ranger stopped by and gave us some great information about the Monument and I did notice that you really gotta give it a few minutes. There are SO many hidden meanings and everything has a significance. I cannot recommend this enough! The parking is free and easily obtained and the information was awesome.Its truly a shame more people dont see the Monument, I do think it may have the fact that it could be taken as far too political and Christian for many groups. It talks about the fundamentals this country was built on, including God. Myself being a Christian this was really inspiring as an American as well. I highly recommend this to all people.

Humbling and awe-inspiring.

We stood in awe of this monument dedicated to the principles of God on which our country was founded. Do not miss seeing it.

Amazing statue, well maintained grounds, peaceful area,

Made a quick stop at the monument. Wish I had more time to stop and look at it. It has a wonderful inscription on it staying the values of the United States.

This is truly one of the overlooked monuments that everyone should take time to visit. It embodies the national, aspirational virtues as envisioned by our founding fathers and mothers.

It was a surprise visit for our Gate 1 tour because we were prompt. Its quite impressive I must say. Thank you Skye and Don for bringing it to our attention.

This really is a must see place. Watch the Kirk Cameron documentary Monumental to get a better understanding of the symbolism in each of the figures.

Very impressive monument that tells the colonists-version of the forefathers story. The relief sculptures are very well crafted, although somewhat weathered.

Beautiful monument, perfect recognition to our forefathers

Had no idea this was here but its very neat, worth the stop.

A federal ranger gives a personal narrative of the monument and it is awe inspiring how the pilgrims founded democracy. They were truly ahead of their time. Worth the trip!

This beautiful monument rests in a quiet park. Very much worth the visit and experience to give reflection and respect to the forefathers of this country.

This place is certainly a missed stop for a lot of tourists to Plymouth but one that should not be skipped. Its a quick stop and relatively easy walk around the monument but certainly something that you shouldnt miss if youre looking at history in Plymouth.

Come here at least once and share the message it is communicating to a lost nation.

Not well known..it is a magnificent piece of art/sculpture. Be sure to really look at all and read! Not lit at night.

This was amazing! This monument brings Glory to God. How the pilgrims intended the country to be run. Watch the Monumental movie!

Definitely worth a stop, very impressive and intricate. Parking is free for this short stop.

Our tour guide was very informative!

Very powerful. Loved it until 3 Boys from beantown ac came up playing football on the backside of the monument. Symbolic of what is wrong with our country today

Awesome history!

Very interesting. The carvings and inscriptions were instructive - includes a list af passengers on the Mayflower.

The workmanship is astounding!

This monument is so gorgeous, it had so much thought and work put into it!! It was amazing to see

This is the largest monument in Plymouth, but only a small sign on one road indicates it. The quotes and messages on it are a must see along with the beautiful art work.

Good thoughts to think about. Very grateful for those who came before.

Interesting monument. Take note of the eyes. The mens eyes are very detailed. Whereas the womens are solid and not detailed at all.

Neat place to visit. Full of history. Thanks

Definitely worth a visit if you are in Plymouth area.

Such rich history, before you visit watch the documentary Monumental with Kirk Cameron. Much better info that the tour guide.

This place is simply breath taking... I never knew this place existed. thanks so much Tim and Laurie Smith for taking us here!

Beautiful historic place. Hidden gem.

Tells what was really important to people back then

One of the most amazing things Ive seen. This needs to be on everyones bucket list.

Awe inspiring!!! The details and craftsmanship is unbelievable. All the names of the people that were on the Mayflower are listed on 2 side panels. Take a the time to walk completely around the monument and study the flow and details. Its very worthy of a few minutes out of your day. Youll be thankful for it!

This was an awesome experience. Our forefathers sacrificed so much for our religious liberty.

Hidden but very worth seeing. Very beautiful historical landmark

Fascinating to see the use of Jehovahs name in William Bradfords famous quote.
