Built in 1920 for the 300th year celebration of the Pilgrims' landing, the Town Green holds one of Provincetown's most beloved monuments, Signing the Compact. Designed by American artist Cyrus Dallin, the granite and bronze sculpture stands as a backdrop to the Town Green in the heart of Provincetown.
Years of wear had eroded the Town Green (also known as Bas Relief Park), and Provincetown's Beautification Committee launched an effort to restore it. Martha Lyon Landscape Architecture devised a rehabilitation plan blending the historical design with contemporary needs. Simplified brick walkways, edged by evergreen, shrub and perennial borders frame the sculpture. Seating areas arranged alongside the walkways provide resting spots for visitors.
