We came upon it by chance while visiting the gift shop in Plymouth, Massachusetts during our twinster vacation this spring. We noticed a postcard of it, realized it was nearby and decided to pay it a visit. Wow! Amazing! Astonishing! How did we not know about this magnificent monument?
It is the National Monument to the Forefathers, in Plymouth, Mass.
This is the description of it on the postcard we purchased: “Erected in 1889, this 81-foot memorial is dedicated to the four virtues that brought the Pilgrims to the New World: Morality, Law, Education and Liberty. It is the largest freestanding granite statue in the world.”
It is absolutely magnificent. Have you visited it and spent time with it? It is a must see while visiting Plymouth, Mass.









That’s so so amazing!!
It truly is beautiful to see and spend time with understanding all it says to we the people. Thank you for stopping by. 🙂
I live about 2.5 hours from there and have never heard of it. Thank you for the info, and the next time I’m down that way I’ll have to check it out. 🙂
Great, Judy. You’ll be glad you did! ☺️

This is incredible! I have never heard of it either. It amazes me how they were able to do that so many years ago!
Oh, it’s true, Diane. It truly is stunning! Thank you for stopping by. 😊
