"Thought to be the largest solid granite monument in the United States, this 81-foot-tall granite statue was built to honor the passengers of the Mayflower. Boston sculptor Hammatt Billings designed the monument which features allegorical figures depicting the virtues of Faith, Morality, Education, Law, and Liberty. On the main pedestal stands the heroic figure of “Faith” with her right hand pointing toward heaven and her left hand clutching the Bible. A dedication on the monument reads, “National Monument to the Forefathers."

It provides education and understanding of why the Mayflower Pilgrims were important, how they shaped western civilization, and what their 1620 voyage means today and its impact on the world. In 1620, a brave group of 102 men, women, and children sailed across the Atlantic on the Mayflower in search of a better life. In 1897, the General Society of Mayflower Descendants was established to pay homage to the Pilgrims through preservation and education." General Society of Mayflower Descendants
