e’re headed to Plymouth this fall to celebrate the Pilgrims’ landing where the story of America began—and you’re invited! Bring your family and immerse yourselves in the true history of our nation’s founding. From our headquarters in historic Plymouth, overlooking Town Brook—the lifeblood of the early settlement—we will explore the places and stories that reveal God’s remarkable providence in preserving a small band of ordinary Christians through extraordinary hardship. Together, we’ll trace their journey of faith, perseverance, and gratitude as they gave thanks for His sustaining grace and laid foundations that continue to shape America today.
Monday, November 16
Tuesday, November 17
Tour Stops Include: Provincetown, First Encounter Beach, Pilgrim Monument, Old Mashpee Meeting House
Wednesday, November 18
We will mark the anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrims on the ground where it all took place—in Plymouth, Massachusetts. We will walk the streets, ship decks and cemeteries, telling the stories of those 104 souls that arrived in the winter of 1620 and the profound legacy they left for us.
Thursday, November 19
We will go to the Forefathers Monument, the best kept 81-foot-tall solid granite secret in Plymouth, and out to nearby Duxbury where John and Priscilla Alden established a church plant as the Gospel took root and began to spread throughout the area. Courageous Miles Standish kept law and order in the early years and is buried alongside the Aldens in Duxbury.
Friday, November 20
Probably the best “living history” venue we have experienced. The site is superbly crafted, transporting you back to 1627 and the reenactors are fantastic. The people you will meet are living in the year 1627. They don’t know anything beyond that year, but they are incredibly well versed in their character and the time period so conversations with these Pilgrim is both entertaining and educational.

Leo Martin
Leo Martin, an educator and expert on the early history of our nation, has been called “the last God-fearing guide in historic Plymouth, MA”.

A true patriot and historian, Leo Martin is the Education Director at the Jenney Museum in Plymouth, MA, where he is known for his service giving historical tours and lectures dressed in Pilgrim costume.

It was an extraordinary trip that deepened our faith and bonded our family.” —Kerry N.

“It is so well planned out, focuses on God, and finds providence in history.” —R.T.
“History comes alive on this tour. Holding original documents, hearing rarely taught information, and standing in the place the event took place, transforms history into a story to be told. These things are seared to your heart and you can’t help but tell others about God’s Providence in our country. Despite man’s weaknesses, He continues to use faithful, obedient people to accomplish His plans. These tours make that very apparent.” —A.F.

“As a grandmother, I highly value Christian teaching for my family, and Landmark Events does just that, and is the only touring company that I trust 100 percent. I highly recommend landmark events to everyone looking for a historical tour from a Godly worldview, especially after seeing how well versed Bill Potter is in all aspects of history, and how dedicated Kevin is to organizing the events.” —T.G.
“Landmark Events with its wonderful, Christian tour guides, visits to lots of historic places, opportunity to meet like minded friends, prayer at the start of each day, and the way they make you feel special and at home makes its tours wonderful and memorable and leaves you wanting more. I would love to participate in future tours to learn more history and have the same great experience all over again.” —H.R.
