Plymouth at the Crossroads:
Changes in Rural America
​​Crossroads can be funny things. Sometimes they loom in your path, requiring you to make a choice before you can move on. Other times you may not realize it was a crossroads until looking back in retrospect and realize that decisions at that given moment changed everything.
​
Take a look back at Plymouth's history through the frame of crossroads and how they impacted the town and how Plymouth has avoided some of the pitfalls of being considered a rural town.

A performance played on period instruments featuring songs from the actual programs of Plymouth’s own KENISTON BAND —
The reason our town’s beloved bandstand was built.
​
John Keniston (1859-1931) was a prominent citizen of Plymouth. He was a surveyor, public servant, farmer, and a highly trained musician. In 1902 he established the Keniston Band, a group of talented performers who entertained and served Plymouth (and other local communities) for many years. In this concert, the Newmont Military Band, playing original period instruments, will recreate music heard over a century ago, on this very bandstand! Come and enjoy the “echoes” of Plymouth’s musical past.
BYOB — Bring Your Own Blankets (or chairs)!
