The Plymouth Seaside Grace Trail® Plymouth, MA

A Trail That Sparked a Movement

The Plymouth Seaside Grace Trail® is where it all began. Created by Anne Jolles, this was the first Grace Trail ever installed and it continues to serve as a model of what’s possible when a community comes together to support healing, connection, and hope.

Located along Plymouth’s scenic waterfront, this trail offers a self-guided experience grounded in five simple, powerful questions. With the ocean breeze, natural beauty, and welcoming signs to guide the way, it’s a space for reflection and renewal for individuals and groups alike.

A Community Trail with Statewide Recognition

In May 2025, during National Grace Trail Month and Mental Health Awareness Month, the Plymouth Seaside Grace Trail received official citations from both the Massachusetts State Senate and House of Representatives.

These honors celebrated the trail’s profound impact on mental wellness and its role as a peaceful, inspiring space for the Plymouth community and beyond—marking a milestone moment in the Grace Trail movement.

Honoring the Trailblazers

This trail was brought to life through the vision, generosity, and collaboration of many town leaders, veterans’ groups, health organizations, local sponsors, volunteers, and donors. From the earliest planning stages to the official ribbon cutting, this community showed what it means to lead with heart.

The Plymouth Seaside Grace Trail stands as a living symbol of what can happen when we create spaces rooted in reflection, resilience, and connection.
