Built in 1876, owned by William Sebald, and built of cream city brick, the Plymouth Historical Society resides in a historic building. In its early beginnings Sebald sold root beer and ale’s on the first floor while raising his family and living on the second floor. In the lower level was a cistern which was utilized to keep the beverages cool as well as a kitchen and dining room. In 2006, the society purchased the Sebald building and undertook extensive renovations. Today the first floor, which is handicapped accessible, is home to many changing displays of local interest.
