The Grand River Historical Museum functions as a time capsule using everyday objects and images to tell stories--not exquisite antiques and expensive collections--but rather the bits and pieces collected from the daily lives of the men, women, and families who built our community. With 9,600 square feet of exhibit space, the museum allows visitors to re-connect with the early history of the region. We believe that visitors who are able to reach out and embrace the past will be better wardens of the future.
