Built between 1936 and 1937, the monument to John Endecott stands in a prominent location in Boston, facing the Museum of Fine Arts. Despite its visibility, there have been increasing calls for its removal — Endecott, Massachusetts' first governor, carried out brutal attacks on the Pequot people and ordered the execution of three Quakers.

This proposed educational center, speaker's platform, and memorial is a direct response. Built around a shallow pond that mirrors the monument's footprint in plan, the museum sinks into the earth rather than rising above it. A speaker's platform above the water brings visitors to eye level with Endecott's statue; in front of it, an open field accommodates community gatherings, rallies, and assemblies.

The interior is divided into two galleries — one honoring the stories of the Pequot people, the other commemorating the Boston Martyrs. Display cases line the ramps that encircle the building, leading visitors upward toward the rostrum.
