Grattan Township Historical Society
The Grattan Township Historical Society was founded in 1984 to preserve the history of Grattan. The Grattan Museum was dedicated on July 5, 1987. The Museum is housed in a historic structure built in 1853 as a Methodist Episcopal Church at Steele’s Corners. The church was moved to Grattan Center on log rollers in 1906. In 1930, the church building was sold to Grattan Township and used as the Township Hall until 1971. The building was completely remodeled and became the Historical Museum in 1987. In 1999, the Museum building was moved again to its current location adjacent to the Township Hall. The Museum contains exhibits on area schools, churches, local wildlife, Native Americans, household items, and farm life. There is also a growing genealogy collection.
The Museum is open to the public on Memorial Day from 9:00am to 1:00pm,
and the second Sunday of the month from 2:00 to 4:00pm June through October and by appointment.
