Lock Museum of America — Attraction in Plymouth

THIS WAS SO FUN!!! The museum is jam-packed with information and fantastic collections. The escape room piece was brilliant; the puzzles, lock combinations, and educational tidbits were exciting and challenging, yet well-marked. My partner and I arrived on time for our appointment, knocked on the door three times, and the volunteer representative happily greeted us and told us all about the museum. It was wonderful to have someone so enthusiastically welcoming and engaging give us a tour. Then, when we completed the escape room, we were given a special and most delightful surprise! I recommend this experience to anyone eager to learn about locking mechanisms by a hands-on approach and thrilled by an expertly-crafted...

The website indicates that the museum is only open a few days per year, otherwise by appointment. I was there on one of those days that it is to be open (June 21, 2024, 1:30-4:00pm) along with a few other people. The door was locked and no sign was posted indicating it was closed. We waited about 20 minutes and then left. I called the number on the website and was told that they weren't going to be open that day because a volunteer called in sick. It would have been a nice courtesy to update your site and to have a sign on the door indicating that it would not open. Could have saves some folks a drive. I guess I will try again on...

The Museam is packed with items from all time periods and places, with one space dedicated to the lock factory that used to stand across the street.

There is an escape room that can be booked and it is of moderate to hard difficulty. It also takes place in the exhibits and gives you a fun reward at the end.

The Museam is staffed by volunteers, but they were very professional...
