History, Library
We have erected a windmill and have acquired a historic log cabin, built in 1864. We have constructed a replica of a well and have provided a typical outhouse. Frances Colwell has published a booklet detailing the history of the cabin complete with many old photographs. Mrs. Colwell has collected information and is preparing another historical book on the Thompson Cemetery. This cemetery was restored by the White Settlement Historical Society after decades of neglect and valdalism. The Judd Street Cemetery was also restored. We hope to instill in the minds of the children in our area the importance of maintaining community history. We do this by encouraging school class visits and by taking our exhibits to school classes.
We’ll kick off the event with a virtual day on Wednesday, July 24, hosted in collaboration with the Association of Midwest Museums (AMM).

MI Museums: Navigating Changing Landscape
The role of museums is evolving. How do we as museum professionals and volunteers navigate the complexities of a rapidly changing world while staying true to the core mission of museums as stewards of culture, education, and public engagement
While this may present us with challenges, it also offers us opportunities to rethink traditional museum practices and embrace novel approaches to our work. As we navigate these societal, technological, and environmental shifts, what are the tools and strategies we can use to innovate and transform the Michigan museum community
This year’s conference invites participants to explore these pressing issues along with emerging trends in museum education and interpretation, collections stewardship, exhibit design, fundraising, audience development, leadership, DEAI and community engagement. We are all passionate about shaping the future of museums – how can we come together to be a catalyst for change within the Michigan museum community?
