PLYMOUTH — A historical walking tour of downtown Plymouth with a spotlight on the history of slavery, abolitionism, and the ongoing struggle for equality in celebration of the Juneteenth holiday will be held on Saturday, June 18.
Learn about the people and buildings that have shaped Plymouth’s character over the years. Find out about the abolitionists, authors, and athletes who have fought for justice or just passed through for a visit to the once majestic Pemigewasset House or the Draper and Maynard Sporting Goods Company. Visit sites on the National Registry of Historic Places, hear about the Underground Railroad, appreciate the stories that lay behind the unique sculptures and paintings created for Plymouth, and gain a deeper knowledge of Plymouth’s place in the history of education, tourism, and civil rights. If you have your own stories to share, we always welcome those as well.
To participate on this tour, meet at the Boy Scout sculpture in the Common at 10:30 a.m.
