CURRENT EXHIBIT — JUNE 2025

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.

​Reminisce about recreation and relaxation in the region from the 1920s through the 1970s. How did recreation change from the era of trains through the building of I-93? What used to happen every weekend in the gym of the old Speare Elementary School? Why did Babe Ruth come to Squam? What were the thirteen nearby ski areas? When did Cannon Mountain get the Tramway? Why did kids like the manager of the old Plymouth Theater? What cabins and motels used to line Routes 3 and 25? What were the most popular “summer jobs?” These and other questions will be answered by panel members Arline Bownes, Mary Anne Hyde Saul, Steve Rand, and Louise Samaha McCormack who will also open the floor to additional comments and memories from YOU, the audience.

 

This is sure to be a fun event you won’t want to miss.
