little side-issue on the Pilgrims

Posted by Ilse on January 18, 2000 at 15:37:20:

Hi everybody,

I just looked through the discussion on witches, with it's references to the Pilgrims and religious freedom and thought it was very interesting. You probably know that the first place the Pilgrims found refuge from prosecution was Holland, Leiden to be exact. In Leiden the American historian Jeremy Bangs has founded a museum about the Pilgrims' stay there. I have not been able to find a homepage for the museum on the internet, but the Leiden archives have some information on that period. Just follow the link below. Just thought you might be interested.
