Gratiot County Area Historical Museum
The Gratiot County Area Historical Museum was established in 1987, but it is located in a large brick home built in 1881. The museum is free but accepts donations and is open May through October on Wednesdays from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m.
The museum is comprised of the main brick building, a wooden barn which served as a carriage and horse stable during the last part of the 1800s and early 1900s, and a log cabin that was donated in 2017.
Come marvel at artifacts largely from the 1850s through the 1950s — including furniture, ceramics, glass, china, kitchenware, clothing, needlework, photographs, and postcards. Step into this massive time capsule and find out what Gratiot County looked like over 100 years ago.
