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...

We walked up the monument (not too difficult). The view was stunning. The monument itself served as a reference point for us during our first-time visit to Ptown. The museum and the monument itself are definitely worth the effort to visit.

I have been climbing the Monument since I was a little girl. It never gets old. It's great to do with kids, alone or with a group - It's a perfect way to get above the noise of Commercial Street and take in the view. Amazing.
