This year’s free public tour series of Plymouth’s historic Burial Hill explores the theme of Independency and the People of Plymouth, examining how Plymouth men and women in 1776—and across generations—challenged authority and shaped their own paths in the decades surrounding the American Revolution. Tours are free and start promptly at 1 pm. Meet at the top of the hill.
