Our history
The Mecosta County Historical Society was established on January 25, 1894 and met in the homes of various members. On May 18, 1965, a permanent museum was opened at its present location as the former Phelps Free Library was purchased by the Society for $1.
Our mission
Preserving local history for future generations.
