Historic
exchange
The Plymouth Historical
Museum is offering free
admission on Dec. 2 in
exchange for one new,
unwrapped toy for the Toys
for Tots program. The Toys
for Tots program was
founded in 1947 by
reservist Major Bill
Hendricks. He had a mis-
sion to provide toys for
underprivileged children.
This mission has been ongoing for 70 years thanks to the Marine Corps Reserve
and donations from the public. There is a donation box located in the museum
lobby for all new and wrapped toys for families in need and that cannot afford to
purchase toys for their children. The Plymouth Historical Museum is located at
155 S. Main St. in Plymouth.
