Multiple statues and monuments in Plymouth, Massachusetts were vandalized overnight as the town prepares to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the Pilgrim’s journey to North America aboard the Mayflower.
“The famous rock at the site of their 1620 landing was found with its inscription covered with red graffiti,” reports Fox News. “Also vandalized: a sign celebrating the anniversary, the Pilgrim Maiden statue and the National Monument to the Forefathers, according to town officials. The graffiti included an obscene spray-painted message directed at police.”
