Happy #MayflowerDay! On September 16, 1620, the Mayflower set sail from Plymouth, England. Visit Pilgrim Hall Museum, "America's Museum of Pilgrim Possessions", to see a beautiful model of this historic vessel during our 200th anniversary year.

Check out our new house! It will actually be a micro-climate enclosure for Henry Sargent’s huge history painting, Landing of the Pilgrims.

Ever wonder what goes on when we are closed to the public? Today we are building an enclosure to protect Henry Sargent’s monumental painting, The Landing of the Pilgrims, during our major building restoration beginning this month. #art #Pilgrims #museum #artrestoration
