Plymouth Antiquarian Society November Burial Hill Tour

Where are the resting places of the Pilgrims? Join us for a free tour on Saturday, November 7th and discover how many of the settlers who arrived on the first four ships to Plymouth (Mayflower, Fortune, Anne, Little James), may be interred on Burial Hill. Stephen O'Neill, curator of Pilgrim Hall Museum, examines the evidence for their burials, including later gravestones on the Hill, death records, and even the burial practices and beliefs of the Pilgrims themselves.

Pilgrims on Burial Hill is part of the Antiquarian Society's program, Burial Hill: History in Progress that will continue through the year 2020. Each year, the Society will present a series of history expeditions on Burial Hill, one of America's oldest and most significant burying grounds. Tours will be offered on the first Saturday of every month at 1 pm (excepting January); meet at the top of the Hill.

No reservations are required for individuals and families. Participants may traverse steep and slippery slopes; please wear appropriate shoes. Severe weather may cancel tour; updates will be posted on the Plymouth Antiquarian Society Facebook page.
