Renovation/Preservation/Beautification Awards

Join us for an interesting and amazing evening when we will hear the stories of how community members honored the history of their building and cemetery by lovingly restoring them. It will be at the Poorhouse (180 N. Wolcott St.—next to Bob Evans, Inc.) on Monday, Oct. 27, at 7 p.m.

Fairgrounds Museum

The Hillsdale County Fair will run from Sunday, Sept. 21 to Saturday, Sept. 27. The Museum will be open from noon to 8 p.m. on Sunday and from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. from Monday through Saturday. Please stop by to see the 1920s kitchen and five new exhibits: The Grosvenor House Museum, The Dawn Theater, farm implements, ceramics and farm toys.

Mail Pouch Tobacco sign

The large portion of the 1859 barn has been cleaned out, and the Mail Pouch Tobacco sign is on display. We will continue with the organization of the barn toward the goal of creating another museum on the Poorhouse complex, this one dedicated to items related to farming.
