Museums and History

The most popular thing to do while in Provincetown is to visit the Pilgrim Tower.
It's just a short walk from Commercial Street and easy to find, because you can't miss it.
You can get into the Pilgrim Tower for free some days, but unfortunately the day we were there it wasn't free.
We got a discount ticket for 6 dollars at a cute little shop on Commercial street.
When you reach the entrance of the Pilgrim Tower, you are met by two museums.
The museum on the right is about the settlers that settled south of Commerial Street, and the museum on the left is about the settlers that settled north of Commercial Street, which were the Portugese.
We chose to view the museum to the right, because it had information on how the Pilgrim Tower was built.
On the way out we checked out the Portugese museum. The picture above is the entrance to the tower.
The next picture is looking out the front of the entrance. How long did it take to climb the Pilgrim Tower? About 15 minutes. There are about 6 steps then a landing, six more steps and a landing, etc till you reach the top.
There are historical markers imbedded in the walls to keep your mind busy.
