Welcome

Thanks to everyone who attended Old Fashion Day! See you next year!

The Clare County History Park, including the museum, Dover School, blacksmith shop, and log cabins, is open every Saturday of May through September from 1 – 4 p.m.

The History Park is located at the corner of Dover and Eberhart roads northeast of Clare. It’s a great place to learn about local history such as Spikehorn Meyers, Isaiah Leebove, the Ott family, and much more. Find out why gangsters visited Clare County and why a few even settled here! You might even get a chance to learn a bit of blacksmithing at our working blacksmith shop.

The historic Bell-Knapp Cabin was moved, restored, and received a dedication ceremony in 2024. Learn more by viewing our latest newsletter. Photos of the work are on the project page.

Also, visit our Facebook page and the rest of this site to view photos and learn more about Clare County’s history.

If you have any questions or can’t find information you need, please contact Marty at 734-755-2638 or send an email to: [email protected].
