Description
Plymouth history begins long before the town became a center of shipbuilding and fishing in the 1800s. Along with the Pilgrim's first landing and the story of initial hardships, Plymouth's long stretch of history is easily rediscovered today on a walking tour of Historic Plymouth. Running through the center of the city is Town Brook, one of the main reasons settlers had chosen the site for their new town. This faithful creek, fed by perennial springs, not only provided an important source of water, but also furnished power for the first string of mills along the river. Built in 1636, Jenny Grist Mill marked the beginning of the Pilgrim's successful start in the New World. Not only did John Jenney's mill provide new arrivals with ground grain, but also sparked the birth of the nation's industrial spirit.
