Otsego County Historical Museum


The Otsego County Historical Museum is located at 320 W. Main Street in Gaylord, Michigan. The Museum is operated by the Otsego County Historical Society.  Dates and hours that the Museum is open to the public are listed below.  The public is welcome and encouraged to visit the Museum.
When you enter the Museum, you will see a variety of displays illustrating the history of Otsego County.  You will also notice the original tin ceiling.  The building was constructed in 1910 and was originally used as a cigar factory. 

This kitchen/dining room focuses on the household tasks of cooking, sewing and washing clothes.  The chairs around the dinging table are from the Gaylord Fishing Club.

The country store sold a large variety of goods, supplying households with their supplies as well as many tools for farming and lumbering.  The cash register is a beauty!

 

The gift store is a new feature at the Museum.  Available in the store are locally-made and Michigan products as well as local historical publications.
