Travel back in time through the Plymouth community's example of the American
Experience. Learn how the growth of American industry, the advent of the
railroad and the invention of the automobile changed America's small towns,
especially Plymouth, Michigan.
The Plymouth Historical Museum features a
late 19th-century Victorian recreation of Main Street,
tracing the growth of the small town from the railroad depot to the general
store. The largest Lincoln collection in the state of Michigan is housed in a
separate room off of Main Street. And a Timeline of Plymouth History is the
newest permanent exhibit, featuring displays on the Daisy Air Rifle, the Alter
Motor Car, World War II, communication history, and much more.
The Plymouth Historical Museum is owned by the Plymouth Historical Society.
The Museum features 26,000 square feet of exhibits, a gift shop, an
extensive archives and research library, and a meeting room.
