Welcome

The Clare County History Park, including the museum, Dover School, and Ott family log cabin, is now open every Saturday until the end of September from 1 – 4 p.m.

The 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 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.

We are in the process of restoring the historic Bell-Knapp Cabin that was moved to the site in mid-August. Learn more by viewing our latest newsletter. (Photos of the work are on the project page.)

Also, visit our Facebook page and 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].
