Spanning more than a century of memories, this photographic history of
Plymouth State College unfolds the historical images of an academic
community dedicated to excellence. The school, located in the foothills
of the White Mountains, has held high standards since its inception in
1871 under the name New Hampshire Normal School. As early as 1874, at
least 20 years before such a system was attempted in any other normal
school, the grade and high schools of Plymouth had been organized as
teacher-training schools.
