Plymouth

By: Hill, Brian Vincent,Plymouth Historical Society

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. Yet most citizens of Plymouth today only know it as a wonderful community full of parks, subdivisions, and a quaint Norman Rockwelllike downtown.

Plymouth, (Wi)

By: Plymouth Historical Society,Sheboygan County Historical Research Cen

Plymouth, originally considered a "hub" city because of the hub and wheel factory located here, has also earned that moniker for its central location between Milwaukee and Green Bay. Tourists flock to Plymouth year-round to visit the variety of shops, to golf, swim, and ski, or to explore the beautiful Kettle Moraine State Forest. And residents of the city are proud of their heritage, which can be seen at sites such as the Wade House, the Herrling Saw Mill, or the Wesley Jung Carriage Museum, as well as the numerous architectural gems featured on a walking tour of historic homes and businesses. First settled in 1845, it was predicted that "Plymouth bids well to become quite a business town," and so it became, earning the nickname of "World's Cheese Capital.

Plymouth and Whitemarsh Townships

By: David R. Contosta,Gail C. Momjian,Plymouth Historical Society

Plymouth and Whitemarsh Townships began as rural clusters of villages and farmlands. Local industry centered on the rich agricultural land and the large, underground mineral veins of limestone and marble. Through vintage photographs culled from the Plymouth Meeting Historical Society and local residents' attics, Plymouth and Whitemarsh Townships revisits this region's history of quarries and limekilns, one-room schoolhouses and elaborate estates, while featuring the more recent past of the Pennsylvania Turnpike, postwar housing developments, and the Plymouth Meeting Mall.
