American Civil War

During the Civil War, Union Army soldiers arrested Daniel E. VanValkenburgh, editor of the ''Plymouth Weekly Democrat'', who criticized what he viewed as Lincoln's abuses of power. VanValkenburgh also criticized Department of Ohio commander Ambrose Burnside's lieutenant, General Milo S. Hascall. Hascall was in charge of the District of Indiana. VanValkenburgh called Hascall a donkey in the pages of the ''Democrat.'' Hascall promptly dispatched soldiers to arrest VanValkenburgh and brought him before Burnside to answer charges of violating Burnside's General Order No. 38. Burnside let VanValkenburgh off with a warning. The ''Democrat'' became the first of eleven Democratic newspapers suppressed or threatened with suppression in May 1863.


Later history

On July 6, 1915, the Liberty Bell stopped in Plymouth on its trip from Philadelphia to the Exposition at San Francisco. Much of Plymouth's history was documented in two major newspapers during the 19th century. The ''Marshall County Republican'' (also titled ''Plymouth Republican'' and ''Plymouth Tribune'') operated from 1856 to 1922. Its main rival the ''Marshall County Democrat'' (also titled ''Plymouth Democrat'') appeared from 1855 to 1932 (and as a weekly only edition until January 1, 1941). The ''Plymouth Daily Pilot'' acquired the ''Republican'' in 1922, and the ''Democrat'' became the ''Plymouth Daily News'' in 1932. The ''News'' and ''Pilot'' merged to become the ''Plymouth Pilot-News'' in 1947. As part of Plymouth's sesquicentennial celebration in 1966, organizers created the first Marshall County Blueberry Festival, to take place over Labor Day weekend. This tradition has continued annually, and the Festival typically brings in tens of thousands of visitors over the four-day event. In July 1982, five firefighters were killed when their fire truck overturned while responding to a call. The tanker truck crashed on a curve near West School on state road 17. In March 2024, a semi-truck crashed into a Hacienda from US-30.
