Make Your Mark on Local History!
Your support today can open the door for more families, students, and history lovers to explore the history of their community, grounding them in our unique heritage. When you give, you carry the stories of your community into the future, for explorers today… and tomorrow.

-
launched Collective Access, offering online access anytime, anywhere, to our collection of over 70,000 artifacts, for anyone in our community, region, and beyond
-
brought artifacts and hands-on investigative lessons to 100% of the second-grade public school classrooms in the Tri-Cities
-
ensured the preservation for future generations of more than 800 new local artifacts to grow our collection of objects, photographs and documents that carry our story forward
-
stewarded the historic 151-year-old Akeley building in downtown Grand Haven, visited this year by more than 48,000 adults and children
