The rock protruded from Cole's Hill. I made a logical stepping off point from the small landing craft used by our pilgrim forefathers. People in that period feared getting wet in the Winter weather because it frequently caused death. No actual records exist of the rocks use for this purpose. In 1741 church elder Thomas Faunce gave a testimonial as to the rock being used as the landing place.
With no actual documentation the rock is more symbolic of our separating from England. It was made popular during the revolution. At one time being moved to the town square about 1000 yds from its original location. Rallies in favor of revolution were held at that location. Nearly2/3 of the rock was taken chipped away by souvineer hunters. It was returned to its original location and protected by a granite structure featuring greek columns. Symbolism for the greek system of democracy employed by the pilgrim fathers to fashion their government.
