Leiden 400 Program
2020 marked the 400th anniversary of the sailing of the Mayflower, a ship that transported a group of English Separatists who spent eleven years in Leiden before setting off for the New World. The “Pilgrims” hoped to reach Virginia, where an English colony had already been established. Instead they landed 600 miles north in Cape Cod Harbor, today’s Plymouth, Massachusetts.
Leiden 400 presented a exciting program of celebrations, events and activities for visitors from the United States, Canada, Europe and around the world. Leiden is located 30 minutes from Amsterdam.
