local history

After living in Plymouth for 13 years we finally visited the Plymouth Historical Museum.
Our next door neighbor has been volunteering there for years and told me a lot about it.
We even saw 102 year old Margaret Dunning, town philanthropist, who still drives and doesn't look a day over 90. 
A very impressive museum for a city this size.
The basement has a timeline of Plymouth events.
The city used to have 2 movie theaters. The Penniman & Allen Theater was located across from the post office before it burned down in 1968.
An impressive collection from the Daisy Air Rifle factory 
The only known Alter Automobile from the Alter Motor Company also located in Plymouth
Typical Plymouth kitchen circa 1942
Pere Marquette
An impressive collection of dresses and gowns worn by first ladies
A doll house 10 years in the making
An entire room devoted to Abraham Lincoln
