Plymouth and the Great War

First Saturdays on Burial Hill 

Join Us on August 5th: Plymouth and the Great War 

Flag raising across from Plymouth's Training Green on April 19, 1917 -- just 13 days
after the U.S. entered WWI. (PAS 2003.6.67)

2017 marks the 100th anniversary of the entry of the United States into World War I. How did Plymoutheans respond to the call to serve overseas? How did the war influence life on the home front? Venture into the 20th century on a guided walking tour with Dr. Anne Reilly Mason, Executive Director of the Plymouth Antiquarian Society.

Plymouth and the Great War is part of Burial Hill: History in Progress, a free program that will continue through the year 2020. Launched independently in 2011 by the Plymouth Antiquarian Society, the Burial Hill series is now a collaborative program with the Pilgrim Society & Pilgrim Hall Museum. Each year, we will present a series of history expeditions on Burial Hill, one of America's oldest and most significant burying grounds. Tours will be offered on the first Saturday of every month at 1 pm (excepting January); meet at the top of the Hill.

No reservations are required for individuals and families. Participants may traverse steep and slippery slopes; please wear appropriate shoes. Severe weather may cancel tour; updates will be posted on the Plymouth Antiquarian Society Facebook page.
