Eugene Wright's Stories and History of Plympton
Eugene Wright (1890 - 1973) was born in Whitman and moved to Plympton as a young boy. He was raised in Plympton and after attending both the Brockton Business School and the Bridgewater Teacher 's College taught for over 40 years in the Massachusetts public schools. After retiring he devoted much of his time to his farm on Maple Street in Plympton and his weekly column in the Silver Lake News. He was a descendant of Adam Wright, one of the earliest Plympton settlers.

Eugene Wright's History of Plympton
Wright’s History is a collection of his research compiled over many decades and a lifetime of close contact with Plympton. Some of these items form the basis of stories found in Tales of Old Plympton.
The original document is a loose-leaf binder in the Plympton Historical Society collection, and was scanned by PHS volunteers. There are 100 distinct PDF files. A number of the files span multiple topics and can therefore be found under more than one header.
