After shuttering doors to the building many have referred to as Plymouth’s history museum, the City of Plymouth is set to reopen the Plymouth Old Town Hall in August. Adjacent to Plymouth Creek Park, the building sits at 3605 Fernbrook Lane N.

The Plymouth History Center experienced a multi-year closure that resulted from a burst water pipe in the basement during the pandemic.

During that time, staff have been working to make repairs, reorganize and catalogue items, reimagine programming and give the interior a makeover. 

Built in 1885 as the town’s municipal building, the refreshed Old Town Hall is set to showcase new exhibits; a research room to browse old newspapers, yearbooks and documents; audio recording space for oral history projects; photos; historical models; a timeline of the city’s history and more.

The community is invited to an open house 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 3 at Plymouth Old Town Hall to celebrate the reopening of the building.

All are welcome to stop by, and no RSVP is required. Light refreshments will be provided, while supplies last.
