Plymouth, Michigan Real Estate and Local Information

Plymouth is one of Michigan's oldest communities. It is best known for its charming downtown, which includes a large, quaint residential area and a growing, vibrant commercial district with upscale restaurants and bars. The focal point of town is Kellogg Park and its large gathering fountain, one of the areas most visible landmarks. Kellogg Park also hosts "Music in the Park," a summer-long series of live musical productions, as well as Plymouth's famous "International Ice Sculpture Spectacular" which routinely draws over 500,000 visitors and ice-carving competitors from as far away as Japan.

Brief History
Plymouth Township was organized in 1827, and the village incorporated in 1867. One hundred years later, in 1967, when the city observed its centennial, the Lord Mayor of Plymouth, England, accepted an invitation to come to Plymouth and participate in the observance. He arrived with two aldermen and his city clerk. The ties between the two cities have been strong since World War II when the Plymouth Rotary Club sent food, clothing, money, and letters of encouragement to Plymouth, England, during the blitz. In front of City Hall in Plymouth, Michigan, stands a gift from the English city: a small piece of the rock quarry from which the pilgrims embarked from America in 1620. Growing in front of the City Hall in Plymouth, England, is a gift from Plymouth, Michigan: four trees native to this area. The colonial architecture of Plymouth, influenced by its New England counterpart, is exemplified in its attractive public buildings. These include the Dunning-Hough Public Library building which the library has occupied since 1958, the City Hall building erected in 1964, and the Dunning Memorial building which Margaret Dunning presented to the Plymouth Historical Society in 1973.
