Wexford County Historical Society

The Wexford County Historical Society Museum (WCHS) is a nonprofit organization committed to the preservation and presentation of the history and culture of Wexford County.

WCHS promotes public awareness of county history, sponsors artistic and cultural activities and manages the former Carnegie Library as a public museum, library and meeting place. The 5,000 sq. ft. WCHS Museum is the leading source of displays relating to the history of Wexford County. It contains artifacts, photographs, maps, paintings, documents and exhibits of daily life in northern Michigan that reflect the community’s history since its inception in the 1870’s.

Whether in the form of membership dues, volunteer work, monetary contributions or historical item donations, we appreciate your support. Your generosity and involvement allows us to maintain and rehabilitate the museum building and service our many community programs.
