• Plymouth Historical Museum, 155 S Main St. Local history museum. Includes a size 37 shoe, custom-made for the world's tallest man, Robert Wadlow, by a store in town, now enshrined in a basement display. "We exhibit the shoe because one of the old shoe stores in Plymouth - Wiloughby's - offered to custom make a pair of shoes for him. I understand that he would come visit your community if someone would do that for him. He came here in the 1930s to get his pair of shoes."
