Mission Statement:
The Mission of the Newaygo County Society of History and Genealogy is to preserve Newaygo County historical and genealogical materials for the future generations through conservation, education, research and restoration.
Formed in 1965, the rich background 0f Newaygo County began to be collected through artifact donations and recorded through stories told. The Society is a non-profit organization which operates with dues from memberships, private donations, financial grants and endowment funds from the Lutheran Church and the Fremont Area Community Foundation.
The Local History and Genealogy office, in downtown White Cloud, holds historic records of townships, newspapers, photos, atlases, scrapbooks, one-room schoolhouses, and many county-wide research subjects in book form from various sources including those our volunteers have written. Please visit the Local History and Genealogy tab for more information.
Our museum operates in a storefront building in the city of Newaygo and is primarily funded through grant funding by the Fremont Area Community Foundation. The collection depicts how integral the Muskegon River and White River were to the economy of the Native Americans, white pine logging and fur trade. The natural progression of community businesses, agriculture and the personal settings of home, school and church can be seen. Please visit our Newaygo County Museum page and read of the progress being made with this important aspect of our county history.
We are proud of our long history of preservation of the local history, genealogy and artifacts of Newaygo County’s twenty-four townships.
