| Brief Description of Facility | The Michigan Historical Museum, located in the Michigan Historical Center in Lansing, is the flagship of the ten sites of the Michigan Historical Museum System. The museum tells Michigan's story from precontact times to 1900 through permanent exhibits on its second floor. Exhibits about "Michigan in the 20th Century" fill the third floor. Special exhibits in a first floor gallery change yearly and have focused on collections and themes ranging from underwater archaeology to Civil War flags. |
