The Leiden American Pilgrim Museum is a small museum in the Dutch city of Leiden dedicated to the Pilgrim Fathers. These Separatists or English Dissenters were religious refugees who had fled England to Amsterdam in 1608 and moved to Leiden the next year. They lived and worked in that city for about 12 to 20 years.
The Leiden American Pilgrim Museum tells the story of the Leiden exile of the Pilgrims who founded Plymouth Colony in New England in 1620. The museum is located in Leiden’s oldest date able house, built ca. 1370.
