Burial Hill History Tour Series (Plymouth)

The Plymouth Antiquarian Society and Pilgrim Hall Museum announce their continuing partnership in a free public tour series of Plymouth’s historic Burial Hill for the 2024 season. Since 2011, the two historical organizations have collaborated together to offer thematic tours of Plymouth’s ancient burying ground to the public on the first Saturday of each month from February through December.

Tours begin at the top of the Hill at 1 pm and last approximately one hour. Participants may traverse steep and grassy slopes and should wear appropriate shoes. Severe weather may cancel tours; updates will be posted to social media.
