Do you have a skill or talent you would like to share? We have a strong an vibrant volunteer group who contribute the equivalent of 100,000 dollars in volunteer hours to keep the museum running. Do you like what we do and want to see us continue to do it? The vast majority of our funding comes from individuals in the community who contribute financially to keep the lights on.

Donate Stuff
Here at the Heritage Museum of Newaygo County we are always looking to add items to our Artifact Collection. Currently, we are no longer accepting newspapers, ledgers, account books, and other items that would be better suited for Research. These items could be offered to the Terry Wantz Historical Research Center based in Fremont.
If you are interested in donating your piece of history please contact the Artifact Collections Manager to set up a time to talk more about artifact donations. Please see and fill out the Donation Pending Review which must be completed and brought in with any donation.
Once a Donation Pending Review has been provided our Artifact Review Collections Committee (ARC) will review and decide which donations to accept. The main goal for our collection is to acquire Newaygo County history so we are interested in any story or history on your items to help the ARC make their decisions.
If you have any questions, please call (231) 652-5003 Monday-Thursday from 9am until 2pm or reach us directly at Sradtke@newaygocountyhistory.org
