The nation’s oldest continuously–operating public museum, Pilgrim Hall houses an unmatched collection of Pilgrim possessions. Among its treasures are William Bradford’s Bible, Myles Standish’s sword, the only portrait of a Pilgrim (Edward Winslow) painted from life, the cradle of New England’s first–born, Peregrine White, the great chair of William Brewster, and the earliest sampler made in America, embroidered by the teenage daughter of Myles Standish. Here you will also learn the story of the Wampanoag, the Native People who inhabited this area for 10,000 years before the arrival of the new settlers, and their relationship with colonial peoples. Featuring a vast collection of paintings and artifacts, Pilgrim Hall’s mission is to protect, foster, and educate about this important heritage.
