Plymouth Antiquarian Society July Burial Hill Tour

First Saturdays on Burial Hill
Join Us on July 1st

The Loyalist Dilemma



In the Revolutionary era, Americans were irrevocably divided. Why did some Plymoutheans remain loyal to King and Crown? Examine American independence from the perspective of those who chose not to embrace it on this guided walking tour with Dr. Donna Curtin, Executive Director of Pilgrim Hall Museum.

The Loyalist Dilemma 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.
