Housed in a historic 1923 Atlantic Coast Line Train depot, the Port o’ Plymouth Museum is charged with the mission of preserving and celebrating the long and unique history of Washington County, North Carolina. Standing in the front and center of the museum’s interpretation is Plymouth’s fascinating Civil War history, which includes the 1864 Battle of Plymouth and the Civil War’s most successful ironclad ship – the CSS Albemarle. Come learn about this 17,000 troop battle and see our fully operable, to-scale replica of the CSS Albemarle. Rated by the Charlotte-Observer as one of “Top 10 Civil War Sites in the Carolinas”, our museum may be small, but it’s packed with fascinating history. Come see us!
