Vintage Post Card of “Mill Pond, Chatham, Mass.”  Pilgrim Tercentenary 1920 1 cent stamp affixed to the card with post mark of 1921

The Pilgrim Tercentenary stamps were issued on this same date in 1920.  The first stamp in the set, the green one-cent “Mayflower,” honors the vessel that carried 102 brave travelers to the religious freedom America promised.  Although the Pilgrims had a charter for Virginia, they landed in Massachusetts.
