The exhibits at the Wyandotte Museums fall into four catagories.
The Ford-MacNichol Home
The main exhibit at the Wyandotte Museums is the Ford-MacNichol Home. This building houses the Museums' collection of local history artifacts. In addition, the home is furnished on the first and second floor to reflect the Edwardian era (c. 1910) and a typical upper-middle class household in Wyandotte. Most of the furnishings in the house have been donated by Downriver residents and friends of the museum. Guests can learn not only about the former residents of the Ford-MacNichol Home and life in our early 20th century city, but also of Wyandotte's prominence in the industrial and social history of the state of Michigan and the nation.
The Attic Gallery
The Attic Gallery on the third floor of the Ford-MacNichol Home is a space for the Museums' rotating exhibits. These change seasonally and often feature a person or event from the history of the City of Wyandotte. Be sure to check this page periodically to see what's new.
The Basement Gallery
The Basement Gallery is a permanent exhibit depicting a cultural and industrial timeline of the developement of the City of Wyandotte. This exhibit will be undergoing a restoration over the next year or so, so please check back frequently to see our progress.
Seasonal Exhibits
The Ford-MacNichol Home is decorated for major holidays and often with an accompanying display of historic items associated with these special occasions.
