Opened in 1824, the Pilgrim Hall Museum is America’s public museum that is still operating. It houses an incomparable collection of Pilgrim artifacts and private possessions, which tell the fascinating story of these intrepid and determined people who crossed the ocean and built lives in the new world. Some of the most significant exhibits are the Myles Standish’s sword, William Bradford’s Bible, the portrait of Edward Winslow, the cradle of Peregrine White, the New England’s first–born, William Brewster’s great chair, and the first sampler Myles Standish’s daughter embroidered in America. The museum also tells the story of the Wampanoag, the Native People who lived in the Plymouth area for 10,000 years before the new settlers arrived, and about their conflict.
