We went after 5pm on a Sat. Parking was ample and only 1 car pulled up behind us. We read the statue and took our time around. There is minimal damage to one hand. It is quite large. I think if there was more info about it I would have liked it more but without added info it is just... More

I moved here from the midwest over 40yrs. ago and I have always loved this monument. Someone earlier mentioned we need to bring this monument alive for children. Well, I published a children's book, "Molly's Promise to Faith" about the monument and how it does come alive in the story. You can purchase it on Amazon. Authors name is Mary... More

My husband and I were impressed with the wealth of information provided by a most delightful and insightful tour guide (Leo). We were fascinated by the accuracy and passion he demonstrated in sharing the history of the founding of this nation. The historical walking and monument to the forefathers tours were inspiring and informative. Would do it again.

If you saw the movie Monumental by Kirk Cameron, you won't want to miss seeing this in person! It embodies the foundations which made our country great. I recommend visiting this monument with Leo Martin from the Jenney Museum as your tour guide.

I had no idea this monument was in Plymouth until I tried out the Jenny Museum tour of the site. Totally awesome and breathtaking depiction of the lives and vision of the pilgrims!

We decided to take the Forefathers Monument Tour a few days after taking the walking tour of Plymouth with Leo from the Jenney House Museum because we enjoyed it (and him) so much. This is a really beautiful monument and it stands as a reminder of the principals our nation was built on. Leo does a great job of explaining... More

This is so worth the drive, or walk in warmer weather, and we spent about 20 minutes walking around, taking photos and reading the information about it.

Every American school should try to book a field trip here so the children can understand where their country started and on what values. The monument is impressive for its size, but it is also a lesson in itself - with the different engraved images, each one with its own meaning. Amazing. If you are driving, it's very easy to... More
