Before he became the 19th-century of the U.S. Senate, Daniel Webster made his very first pleas in a courthouse in Plymouth [1] in 1806 (unfortunately, he lost). Now the building is the Plymouth Historical Museum (Court St., Plymouth, 603/536-2337, www.plymouthnh-historicalsociety.org [2], call for hours), and contains old photographs from the days when Plymouth was a major manufacturing center for sporting goods, and artifacts from the very first days of White Mountains [3] tourism.
On the campus of Plymouth State University, the Karl Drerup Art Gallery (Draper and Maynard Building, Main St., Plymouth, 603/535-2614, www.plymouth.edu/gallery [4], 10 a.m.–4 p.m. Mon.–Sat. and 4–8 p.m. Wed. Sept.–May, free) stages imaginative exhibitions of contemporary art from around the world.
One of the newest covered bridges in New Hampshire [5], the 2001 Smith Millennium Bridge is also said to be the strongest. The 170-foot span crosses the Baker River at Smith Bridge Road.
