As the home to Native American encounters, rugged pioneers, governors, state legislators, founders of political parties, landmark legal decisions, multimillionaires, scandals, patents, and the largest international business of its kind, Plymouth has certainly received its 15 minutes of fame.

Local historian and Plymouth Historical Society newsletter editor Brian Vincent Hill takes readers through a visual time line of Plymouth's past and present to see vestiges of this rich history that is still living and thriving today.
