Exploring 17th Century Burial Hill

First Saturdays on Burial Hill

Join Us on April 1st

In Search of the Pilgrims:
Exploring 17th-Century Burial Hill

Visitors often look for the graves of the Mayflower Pilgrims on Burial Hill--but are they buried there? Join Stephen O'Neill, Executive Director of the Hanover Historical Society and Senior Lecturer at Suffolk University, on an exploration of the 17th-century site. Learn about colonial burial customs and see some of the earliest gravestones.

In Search of the Pilgrims: Exploring 17th-Century Burial Hill is part of Burial Hill: History in Progress, a free program that will continue through the year 2020. Launched independently in 2011 by the Plymouth Antiquarian Society, the Burial Hill series is now a collaborative program with the Pilgrim Society & Pilgrim Hall Museum. Each year, we 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.
