What Is Unseen Path?

Unseen Path is a dog-friendly, human-focused walking tour in downtown Plymouth, Massachusetts.

​

It’s not a reenactment. It’s not a script. And it’s definitely not a glossy, mythologized version of history.


This walking tour digs into what really happened here—and how those stories still echo today.​ We walk at an easy pace, ask big questions, and explore the layers beneath the plaques.


We talk about erasure, resistance, survival, and storytelling. We laugh. We swear (a little). And we always leave room for nuance.​ Whether you come with your dog, your people, or just your curiosity, you’re welcome here.

I'm Maggie. Your Guide.

Hi, I’m Maggie Glennon—a Plymouth local, former history teacher, and someone who believes in the power of story to help us better understand ourselves and the world.

​

I spent nearly a decade teaching U.S. History and Government, doing my best to make the past feel human—and real. Not just a list of dates and heroes, but a collection of messy, complicated, deeply personal stories. Because that’s what history is.

​

I’ve always believed that we’re all authors of our own histories. But we’re also stewards of the past—and that comes with responsibility.

​

Unseen Path started as a response to that responsibility.

I was tired of oversimplified versions of Plymouth’s past.
Tired of classrooms that couldn’t hold complexity.
Tired of walking through this town knowing how much of its history still goes unspoken.

​

So I left the classroom and started walking instead.

​

In college, I interned at Plimoth Patuxet Museums. I helped run kids’ programs, walked goats (yes, really), and even spent a night on the Mayflower. But the most important part? It was there that I began to see the gaps—especially when it came to the Wampanoag and Native stories that had been overlooked or excluded.

​

That realization became a lifelong commitment: to seek out multiple perspectives, to name what’s been left out, and to tell the truth—especially when it’s messy.

​

Now I spend my days walking alongside curious humans (and very good dogs), sharing stories in downtown Plymouth that go deeper than the postcard version.

​

These tours aren’t about blame. They’re about presence. About making space for questions, for memory, for laughter, and for whatever rises to the surface when we really stop and listen to the past.

​

You don’t need to be a historian.
You don’t need to have a dog.
You just need to be curious.

Come walk with me.
