Michigan History Center

About

Explore stories of Michigan people from the time of ancient inhabitants to the late 20th century. Enjoy a variety of exhibits, programs for teachers and students, and activities and events for all ages. Discovery never ends at the Michigan History Center!

Story

The Michigan History Center includes the Archives of Michigan and the Michigan History Museum, the flagship of our 12-site Michigan History Museum System. Located in downtown Lansing, the museum features more than 25 galleries of permanent exhibits, special exhibits and a three-story-high topographical map of the state.

The Michigan History Center fosters curiosity, enjoyment and inspiration rooted in Michigan's stories. We constantly seek new ways to provide opportunities for experiences that spark curiosity. We are as enthusiastic about the as-yet-untold stories of Michigan as we are about tales of Father Marquette of 19th-century lumberjacks. We are committed to providing opportunities for all people to see themselves as they experience our exhibits, our collections and our programs.

Great experience for myself and my children! Took my children so that I could work on a project for one of my college courses and they loved the whole experience! Both children were able to make their own special fish hooks to take home! This was a major win as my daughter had just learned all about fishing through a school program last spring!

Nice place to go learn about Mi's history. We enjoyed our stay. The volunteers were very good at sharing their knowledge. My kids asked alot of questions and they were kind enough to answer each one of them. P.S free entry on Sundays

Excellent walk through the history of the state. Very immersive timeline as you start 15,000 in the past with local woolly mammoths. You next make your way through the lumber and mining years, eventually traveling through industrialized Michigan. Spent an hour and a half with young kids. Pretty impressive.
