1970

Maker: Provincetown 350th Anniversary Committee

Charming cranberry-colored 1970s map of Provincetown, MA published by the Provincetown 350th Anniversary Committee. This map was made as part of the celebration of the 350th anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrims in 1620. On November 9, 1620, the Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower sighted Cape Cod while en route to the Colony of Virginia. After two days of failed attempts to sail south against the strong winter seas, they returned to the safety of the harbor, known today as Provincetown Harbor, and set anchor. It was here that the Mayflower Compact was drawn up and signed. The event is memorialized in a sculpture near the Pilgrim Monument. They agreed to settle and build a self-governing community, and came ashore in the West End. This map includes historical information, a street map of the main part of town, and a street index. Route 6 is labeled McMillan Highway. Notable buildings are noted, including churches, museums, public buildings, etc. Fair to good condition with some minor stains, some wear at the paper edges, some wrinkling of the paper, and a slight waviness from being rolled for some time. Measures approx. 15 x 20.5 inches to the paper edges.
