Our town, Plymouth, has a rich historical and
cultural heritage. Lawrence Thompson, in his book Robert Frost: The Early Years,
writes: "The natives of Plymouth were proud of its history." And, this
pride is justified. Nathaniel Hawthorne, Daniel Webster, Robert Frost, and the
Pemigewasset Indians have all played their part in the history of Plymouth.
The Heritage Trail has been established to give us all a sense of the past
and an appreciation of our town's history.
Along the tour, you will visit several historic sites that
include:
Plymouth Regional Senior Center/Railroad Depot
D&M Building
Asquamchumaukee Rock
Ward Hill
Frost Cottage
Round's Hall
Plymouth Historical Museum
Holmes's Rock
Silver Cultural Arts Center
Plymouth Town Hall
