Plymouth, Wisconsin

Plymouth is a city in Sheboygan County, Wisconsin, United States, along the Mullet River.

These migrants being the original pool of settlers in Plymouth gave the region cultural continuity with New England.

[11] Originally known by early Native Americans as Quit Qui Oc, or Crooked River,[12] Plymouth was settled in 1845 by Isaac Thorp[13] and incorporated in 1877.

The main traffic artery through the city runs through downtown, resulting in a vibrant area lined with unique shops, eateries and boutiques.

The downtown also offers a pedestrian network connecting neighborhoods, schools, parks and commercial areas.

[25] With an abundance of parks, citywide events, easy access to the Kettle Moraine National Forest and ski hills, Plymouth is an attractive destination for tourists from all over the country.

[26] The new park, east of the city limits, will offer rail access, improved lots from 1 to 25 acres in size and loan and incentive programs through the county.

With the Sheboygan County Economic Development Corporation, Plymouth actively works to recruit established businesses and startups to locate in the city.

Made of fiberglass and standing 20 feet (6.1 m) tall, the statue of Antoinette the cow is a local landmark that honors the area's legacy of dairy production.

She was erected in 1977, on the spot where the Wisconsin Cheese Exchange was located in the late 19th century, as part of the city's Centennial celebration.

Murals were painted on downtown buildings during two special events by a group of muralists called the Walldogs.

Free concerts are held every Thursday night during the summer at Plymouth City Park, located at Highway 67 and Grove Street.

In addition, the Plymouth Arts Center hosts a variety of musical and theatre performances throughout the year.

Plymouth Dirt Track Racing runs all summer at Sheboygan County Fair Park The Plymouth Aquatic Center at City Park is a zero-depth-entry pool with waterslides, a sand play area and concessions.

Downhill skiing is available at Nutt Hill in Plymouth, which opens once there is 10 inches of snow on the ground.

Built by the Chicago & North Western (C&NW) Railroad, the track originally paralleled the electric interurban Wisconsin Power & Light line, which terminated at Elkhart Lake.

[34] In 2009, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation purchased the Plymouth-Sheboygan Falls portion of the line from Union Pacific,[35] with the intent of repairing the long dormant line to allow the Wisconsin & Southern Railroad to provide restored service to Plymouth by 2015.

Plymouth is served by the Sheboygan County Memorial Airport (KSBM), which is located several miles east of the city.

The airport has fixed base operator with several private, industrial and commercial lots available for development.
