The reconstruction of the Mayflower by Dik Kompier is now displayed at the VVV in Leiden! The reconstruction was planned to be a part of the exhibition “Pilgrims to America – and the limits of freedom” of @DeLakenhal, unfortunately due to the coronavirus this was not possible.

On 8 June 2020, during the ‘online’ Debate in Heritage, Leiden students debated about the statement: The story of the Mayflower does not belong in Dutch history education.
Using information from @DeLakenhal @volkenkunde and @ErfgoedLeiden the students formulate strong arguments!

The Dutch Bookweek has started today! An excellent opportunity to read more about the history of #Pilgrims. A pleasant suggestion is the book ‘New Lights on the Old Colony’ by Jeremy Bangs. A book that you need to add to your booklist! https://t.co/nrJGfeMDGh

@RichardHolledg1 @LeidenMarketing Sounds great! Can’t wait😊!

Leiden, a beautiful city with wonderful walks, a burial mound that dates back to Hengist & Horsa’s invasion of post-Roman Britain, and Jeremy Bangs’ Leiden American Pilgrim Museum, brings to life the lives of the Mayflower Pilgrims. 🏰📜⚓️ And it’s a great place to visit.
