 New & Changing Exhibits!

Pilgrim Hall Museum is a gallery museum, displaying Native American and Pilgrim artifacts to tell the story of the country’s founding and traditions.

Pilgrim Hall has two types of exhibits : permanent and changing.

The permanent exhibit combines artifacts from our collections with historical information to illuminate the Pilgrim and Native American story to 1692, when Plymouth Colony came to an end. Visiting Pilgrim Hall’s permanent exhibit, whether your tour is in Plymouth or at our Web site as "The Pilgrim Story," is an excellent way to learn Pilgrim history.

Pilgrim Hall also mounts changing, temporary exhibits on topics of special interest. These exhibits are frequently built around an interesting segment of the collection or explore a particular Pilgrim-based theme as it evolves over time.  

There is always something new 
to do and see and learn
