It was modeled by the sculptor Cyrus E. Dallin, and given by the National Order of Red Men. It was unveiled September 5, 1921, and dedicated in October of same year. Massasoit, the grand sachem of the confederated tribes of Pokanoket, visited Plymouth on a fine spring day, April 1st, 1621. He was received with ceremony, a feast and gifts. A treaty of peace and friendship was drawn up and signed by him and the Pilgrims. He remained their loyal friend, and preserved peace with the colony for half a century. MEMORIAL SEATS Two stone seats have also been given as memorials, and placed on the hill, one near the statue of Massasoit, and the other under the great linden tree at the northern end. This was dedicated August 31st, 1921, and inscribed: Presented by The Pennsylvania Society of New England Women To commemorate the Tercentenary of the Landing of the Pilgrims 1620–1920 The inscription of the other seat reads: In Memory of The Pilgrim Fathers and Mothers whose heroic idealism established the basic principles of the government of our land.
