The Friends of the Plymouth Historical Museum (a.k.a. Plymouth Historical Society) was organized in 1948 with 52 original members. The Plymouth Historical Museum opened its doors to the public on 14 February 1976; an addition was completed in 2001. The Museum is housed in a beautiful, 26,000-square-foot building, donated to the Society by Miss Margaret Dunning in memory of her parents.
Please note that the Plymouth Historical Museum is privately funded and receives no government support. The small admission fee charged helps us keep our doors open. Privately Funded; Publicly Enjoyed...
