We fuel and cultivate our visitors’ curiosity through the exploration of our Monroe County History.

We house one of the largest collections of artifacts relating to Southeast Michigan. Only a small percentage of the total collection can be exhibited at one time; many exhibits are changed each year. We are a unit of the County of Monroe, Michigan, governed by the County of Monroe, Michigan Board of Commissioners, and generously funded by the citizens of Monroe County. Also, we're filled with awesome stuff; you should come and see.

1810s people preserving fruit for the winter swear by this one simple trick.

In all seriousness, we're having a grape time getting ready for a sweet jam session tomorrow.

Come to Territorial Park on the River Raisin from 10 AM - 4 PM to learn how people of yesteryear made preserves to last the whole year, without Mason jars or gulf wax!
