The monument was built to commemorate the first landing of the Mayflower Pilgrims on November 21, 1620:

The tower is more than 252 feet tall and 350 feet above sea level. The view of the Provincetown wharfs was terrific:

With many windows around the perimeter of the monument, I could snap pictures in every direction:

And the narrow tip of Cape Cod was evident:

And the Atlantic Ocean was visible in every direction:

Here's a brief video taken looking out several of the windows. There's nothing to hear but howling winds, so you won't miss anything if you turn down your speakers:
I was glad that I didn't have a fear of heights. I was also glad I'd decided to once again explore the view from the top of the Pilgrim Monument:

But it came time to leave and I descended the ramps all the way down to the base:

And finally, a video I found on YouTube while uploading mine. It shows the monument's top, interior and museum. It's a fun video, so I thought you might enjoy it. Keep your speakers on for this one, though, as the dialog is fun and witty:
