Visiting the Troy Museum and Historic Village is like taking a stroll through time. As a native son of Big Beaver, I was surprised, delighted, and charmed to see vintage Troy Township recreated with such authenticity and sensitivity. I have visited many such sites throughout the country and can say that the Troy Museum & Historic Village are transcendent in that they not only open a portal to the past of Troy, they also provide an almost palpable feel of what life was like in small-town America in the 19th and early to mid 20th century. What a treasure and what a tribute to the staff of the Museum and Village and all who supported its creation.

A very special nugget of the past right in the middle of the City of Tomorrow. A very cool place to spend an afternoon listening to music, get married or learn a bit about history.

Seldom can one find so much local history so easily available and accurately presented as at the Troy Museum and Historic Village. It's a great place, not only for exhibits, but for its multitude of excellent programs for adults and children.

2008 is the best year yet for the Troy Museum & Historic Village, offering its visitors a solid slice of local and regional history from the ground up (in ten historic bildings), plus many new programs and events. This is definitely a cultural destination to be visited and revisited.

I've never seen a staff so dedicated to their job. They make kids feel welcome in an environment that usually forbids them to interact. Amazing people, amazing programs.
