PLYMOUTH – If all goes as hoped, the town could get a lot of roadside attention this summer. Up to 20 billboards could show up on the state’s highways and byways to let travelers know that Plymouth’s 400th anniversary commemoration is alive and well.
A consortium of local organizations has applied for $150,000 funding from the Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism to pay for the road signs. In addition, numerous businesses have agreed to donate money for the unified effort, dubbed “400 Years – My Local Plymouth.”
“If we receive it, this marketing grant will add much-needed funds to help us recover after the devastating loss of our 400th anniversary year,” said Lea Filson, president and CEO of See Plymouth, one of the sponsoring groups. “Our campaign will build on the already successful ‘My Local MA ‘campaign and promote Plymouth’s extended 400th anniversary through Thanksgiving.”

In spite of the COVID challenges the Plymouth Area League of Women Voters continues its work to achieve its goal - an educated citizenry.
The League is an organization fully committed to diversity, equity and inclusion in principle and in practice. DEI is central to our organization’s current and future success in engaging all individuals, households, communities and policy makers in creating a more perfect democracy. Our members, to honor Black History Month, will participate in a book discussion on Isabel Wilkerson’s newest book, Caste; The Origins of Our Discontent. Wilkerson is a Pulitzer Prize winner. Jennifer Harris, recently retired Plymouth Public Library director, will lead the discussion. Members who wish to participate should contact Deanna Nealey at deannap1@verizon.net.
