Good Place to Get A Local History Lesson
Very interesting information about Saugatuck. After we left we climbed to the top of Mt. Baldy. The views were lovely. This museum has a terrific location right on the Kalamazoo River. Beautiful spot. Worth checking out if visiting Saugatuck.

Expertly archived, Beautifully displayed, Welcoming staff.
The Saugatuck Douglas Historical Museum is a gem. The villagers who donate endless hours to create this museum and archive the duel villages historical contributions, should be proud. Perfectly and beautifully maintained, you enter the site located on the waters edge nestled between the Oval Beach, Mount Baldy and the Kalamazoo river. Serene is the first emotion and then ones' curiosity takes over. So much history of the area is presented yet it is done so tastefully and orderly one still remains relaxed. Informal & quaint, the history as shown by pictures, stories, recordings, artifacts, & art taken from the villages since records began are available to view. The Museum is run by the S & D Historical Society. They also contribute and maintain history/get-acquainted walks, meetings, and group restoration projects. Landscaping, flowers, fountains & statues around town are also their contributions & responsibilities. The Museum is a must for any age & you leave feeling a bit of the pride generations have had in their Saugatuck & Douglas home.
