Pricing

Admission to the Tri-Cities Historical Museum is free, however, we greatly appreciate donations!

The Tri-Cities Historical Museum relies on the generosity of area taxpayers, who provide about 75% of our operating funds through millage assessments. These funds allows us to be able to offer free admission our residents and visitors. We make up the remainder of our funding through grants, investments, memberships, and donations. If you visited the Museum and enjoyed what you saw, please consider a donation. Any amount helps to support our mission and to continue to offer a quality experience.

Parking

Street parking is available on both sides of Washington Ave or in designated City of Grand Haven parking lots. The nearest parking lot is located in the south lot directly behind the museum on the corner of South Second Street and Franklin Ave.
