Plymouth’s rich history is everywhere. It lines the streets as well as the walls of the Port O’ Plymouth Museum. Take the Historic Plymouth Walking Tour and see buildings that survived flames of the Civil War. Visit the museum and enjoy some of its fascinating exhibits. If you're lucky, you may be able to catch an enthusiastic local historian willing to share stories and details.

One of Plymouth’s greatest assets is the powerful, winding Roanoke River. Visitors can enjoy a Maritime Museum and the beautifully detailed Roanoke River Lighthouse replica to discover more about important Plymouth’s maritime history. From displays of boats and the maritime life, to hands–on classes in wooden boat building, residents and tourists alike will find something to enjoy.

If you’re more interested in the present, join the increasing number of visitors who come here to fish, paddle, camp, birdwatch, photograph or just take in the scenery of the beautiful Roanoke and its quiet, blackwater creeks.

From dazzling spring blossoms to bright winter berries, nature provides a colorful  background for the music, laughter, and fun of the many festivals and special events here. Plymouth is a four-season beauty of a town with involved citizens, active organizations and an exciting vision for the future. Stop in and visit. We’d love to share it with you!
