Construction and Renovation Update, posted 03/13/2025 @ 12 PM CST

Our museum is currently CLOSED to the public due to major renovations with the removal of lath and plaster walls in our Mining and Community rooms, which will be replaced with drywall. Private tours are available by request only by contacting Donna Ferson at (906) 224-0075. Private tours are at the discretion of our volunteers and the current safety of the building. Our current goal is to reopen the Museum during Memorial Day weekend, 2025, with an official reopening happening on July 5th, 2025. Please check here or on our Facebook page (Wakefield MI Historical Society and Museum) for updates on the construction and the reopening of our building.

Thank you for supporting us through this messy and hectic process!

Sincerely,

Alex Gustafson, Museum & Collections Coordinator
