The Plymouth Historical Museum features a fascinating collection of artifacts from many periods of American history. These come from not just Michigan but also many places around the country.

Highlights of the exhibits include items belonging to President Abraham Lincoln, historical cars and weapons, and a recreated Victorian home. Also included are items from the town’s history with highlights from local businesses, many of which are still open.

“Don’t miss the Lincoln Collection, a room filled with priceless artifacts from the life and time period of our 16th president. As our tour guide explained, this exhibit includes pieces that the Smithsonian and Henry Ford Museum would “love to get their hands on,” such as original signed documents and locks of Abraham Lincoln’s hair.”Jennifer Bowman

On top of that, the museum hosts events for kids where they can learn about both local and national history in a fun and interactive way.
