Get the tour! Ask all the questions. Great stories. Great history. Why did I wait so long to stop in?
Much learning about life in the late 1800s in Southwest Michigan. Me and the family really enjoyed the experience. The museum used to be a infirmary for the mentally disabled which was cool. I would recommend this museum for locals who live in the area and history buffs.
I am a huge fan of museums and try to visit as often as time allowed while of vacation or away for a quick weekend. Little did I know that this little gem is about 2 miles from my home! I encourage you to take the guided tour. Our guy did a great job and I learned so much in a couple of hours. I could have stayed all day but had other engagements. I'll be going back as I didn't really have the opportunity to see the first floor completely and I hear there's a basement too! Wish it were open through the end of the year though. Can't imagine how beautiful it would be during Christmas.
This museum is housed in a former county poorhouse built around 1884. It has three floors of historical items and exhibits, including a one-room school, general store, music room, old-fashioned kitchen, turn of the century parlor, old dentist office and military room. There is also a replica log cabin and blacksmith works on the grounds. It's open June-September. There is a charge to get in.

If you have never been...SHAME ON YOU! This is an amazing treasure in southwest Michigan! Knowledgeable volunteers and lots to see in this once County Poorhouse.
