About this postcard

The Myles Standish Monument rises as a tall stone tower topped by a statue of Standish, with a staircase leading to the entrance. A few people stand at the base and on the steps, giving a sense of the structure's scale. The tower honors Myles Standish, the military adviser to the Plymouth Colony who settled in Duxbury. It stands on Captain's Hill, a site tied to the town's colonial history and to Standish's memory.
