Wexford County Historical Museum, Michigan, United States
4.5 (10 reviews) Spent 1-2 hours Ranking #3 in Cadillac History Museums
Absolutely loved our guided tour by Richard Kraemer. He brought the collection and Michigan history to life.
This is a small, old-fashioned museum that is absolutely one of the best of its kind in Michigan. It has extensive holdings on the history of Cadillac. What made our visit so delightful was a tour given by Richard Kraemer. I'd call in advance and make sure he is there to guide you through. I learned quite a few things and very ancient history of Michigan through the lumbering era just listening to him. He and the museum are a perfect fit! Definitely go here if you are in Cadillac!

Great Place to Learn About Cadillac's History
The museum is housed in a former Carnegie Library building, which in itself is very interesting and unique. Inside, Docent Richard Kraemer explains the history of the building, and the exhibits layout. He is very knowledgeable of Cadillac's past and how it fit in with northern Michigan's lumbering industry. Amongst the exhibits are photo albums of Cadillac during it's logging heyday. This is a fascinating place. There is such a wide variety of artifacts that there will be something of interest for everyone, young and old.

Wonderful way to pass some time in Cadillac, Michigan
My husband and I were attending an afternoon wedding in Cadillac ,Michigan so we had time to spare having drove down the day before and I saw good reviews of this historical museum. We were not disappointed. Richard Kraemer was an excellent guide full of wonderful tales and extensive facts related to the town, the people and the history. He encouraged us to touch, open drawers and really experience how things were made and used in much earlier times.
