Discover Plymouth, Mass.
The National Monument to the Forefathers is a grandiose granite structure adorned with figures representing such ideals as Youth, Mercy and Morality. The monument also includes depictions of the Pilgrims' history and a list of the Mayflower's passengers is carved on its side. For all of Plymouth's charms, the Pilgrims still hold the most fascination with visitors. Lisa Poole / Associated Press
