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.
