In the early 1980s, Plymouth Historical Society began compiling histories of the area’s earliest European settlers and their descendants. Histories frequently include photographs, family trees, newspaper clippings, and other documents of interest. While some histories are named for an individual or married couple, most touch on subsequent generations.

To view these records, please contact us to arrange an appointment or visit us at our next open house.
