The Pilgrims' Progress

Plymouth residents, as well as visitors, are welcome to take part in this historical reenactment to honor our Pilgrim Founders. The march takes place on the first four Friday evenings of August beginning Aug. 2, and on Thanksgiving Day.  Each costumed marcher represents one of the 51 survivors of the first harsh winter of 1620-1621. Beginning at the Mayflower Society House (North Street), the line of march continues past Plymouth Rock and up Leyden Street to the top of Burial Hill, where as short Pilgrim worship service is observed on the site of the original fort/meetinghouse.  In case of rain, the event will take place on the front porch of the Mayflower Society House.  For more information and/or interest in participating in the march, please call or email PilgrimProgress1620@gmail.com
