The monument is a definite climb but every step of the many that rise to the top of the tower is a step filled with history. As you walk through, you see the many groups that helped make the monument possible and once you make your way to the top, you are rewarded for your climb with a breath taking... More

Yes, amidst the often suffocating crowds of people that frequent Provincetown, there is an oasis known as The Provincetown Monument. Free your spirit and let it soar 253 feet into the heavens, where a beautiful solitude enables you to feel the exhilaration of breathtaking views, extending all the way to Boston. It is a magic ride, and one you will... More

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit here! The museum is extremely interesting - lot of artifacts and great information. The monument is a good climb but well worth it.. If you're young and/or in reasonable shape you should have no problem. There is no elevator so be prepared for stairs and small ramps. The view from all sides at the top is... More

The museum is always interesting to visit, some of the exibits are much better than others but have not been there for a bad one yet. This climb is a bit, but the views are amazing from there and always worth it once your up there. Looking forward to more visits this summer!

The Monument is a "must do". Climb all the steps for spectacular views of the Cape and Provincetown! The gift shop has a wonderful selection of local history books, and memento items. Best of all, the museum has a wonderful exhibit about the history of the monument and the Pilgrims visit there in 1620, also local history, and some items... More

Breath taking venue for a wedding or any type of event. One of the greatest features is that the Monument is located in the middle of Provincetown and is in walking distance to everything.

This is a monukment and a museum of the early settlers of this country. There were many displays dealing with life among early settlers, whaling ships, people who sailed on the Mayflower, the Mayflower compact, etc. I was not able to hike to the top, but my husband and daughter did, and enjoyed a fabulous view from the 200+ foot...
