. . . Perhaps more than you thought!

For millions of living Americans, their family’s actual ‘Ellis Island Moment’ occurred in December 1620 on a frozen, lonely and frightening stretch of Cape Cod beach in the Nauset and Wampanoag homelands, at a place called “Patuxet”. For these ‘Saints’ and ‘Strangers’ the next few years would be more difficult, dangerous, and wonderful than they could ever have imagined. They suffered severely, persevered, made alliances, adapted and survived, and their story is at the very beginning of our country’s first steps toward independence.

We honor their courage and determination this and every day!
