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.

Cape Verdean Cranberry Culture

Cape Verdean Cranberry Culture 

Special Presentation by Dr. Robert J. Gomes 

Friday, June 30, 1pm - Pilgrim Hall Museum

In the early 20th century immigrants from Cape Verde were the backbone of the cranberry industry of southeastern Massachusetts. During this special presentation, organized by the Plymouth Antiquarian Society and hosted by Pilgrim Hall Museum, Dr. Robert J. Gomes will share stories of the Cape Verdean experience on the bogs and in local communities. Dr. Gomes received his Master's in Religious Studies from Harvard University and his Doctorate of Ministry from Memphis Theological Seminary for his thesis "Religion and Culture in Context: The Genesis of a Cape Verdean Church with a Crioulo Accent". He is ordained in the American Baptist Church and lives in Wareham.

The presentation will be held in the Steinway Library of Pilgrim Hall Museum (75 Court Street). It is free and open to the public. Following the presentation attendees are invited to visit the Hedge House Museum (126 Water Street) to see the special exhibit, "Rhapsody in Red: 200 Years of Cranberry Growing in Massachusetts." This exhibit was created in 2016 by the Cape Cod Cranberry Growers' Association (CCCGA) to commemorate the bicentennial of commercial cranberry growing in Massachusetts. A supplemental display includes recipes, photographs, and other cranberry-related items from the Antiquarian Society's collection.
