Overlooking Plymouth Harbor, on Atherton Street, is this 81 foot "National Monument to The Forefathers!!. Built between 1859 to 1880 out of solid granite, is a message from a grateful people about "The Formula Behind Securing Civil and Religious Liberty Here in These United States." I couldn't find a website but Wikipedia does a pretty nice job of providing some basic information about the monument. Below I've embedded some YouTube videos for viewing. I also suggest a link to another video:

Brannon Howse has some criticisms of "The Monumental Movie" and "This National Monument To The Forefather's". They stem from Brannon's doubt of the true "Christian Beliefs of America's Founders" and "The Involvement of The Masonic Lodges in it's Construction" In my opinion:
1. "The message of the statue about the proper foundation of a free and self-governing nation is sound !"
2. "No man can truly see the human heart so it's sometimes difficult to ascertain genuine religious beliefs."
3. "America has a Christian Culture and that is reflected in this statue ! "
4. "However, ...The influence of The Masonic Lodges in this statue is concerning ! I would like to believe that the "One True GOD
Of the Christian Bible ... Jehovah...Holy Spirit...Jesus Christ ....is being referenced here as the source of morality and proper
education, and no other false deities.. !!
