Annual Appeal Campaign
The Friends of the Plymouth Historical Museum (a.k.a. Plymouth Historical Society) is privately funded and receives no government support for its mission of providing historical education and maintaining the Plymouth Historical Museum. The Museum has nine part-time staff members to run a 26,000 square foot building. Utilities expenses are more than $30,000 per year. Money is always appreciated to help keep the doors open so visitors can experience Plymouth community history. Donations are sent directly to the Plymouth Historical Society, a 501(c)3 charitable organization, and all donations are tax deductible. If your donation is $100 or more, you will be acknowledged on our donor wall in the stairwell leading to the lower level. We appreciate your support!
Buy a Caboose Paver
The sidewalk in back of the Museum next to the caboose is now a memorial walkway with engraved brick pavers, as a result of the Plymouth Historical Museum’s Save the Caboose Campaign. Bricks can be purchased for $250 each (8″x8″ paver) to remember family members, Friends of the Plymouth Historical Museum members, friends, or people from Plymouth’s history, or to just commemorate your love of Plymouth’s train history.
