Moving Forward While Honoring the Past

We are thrilled to announce that our office has officially relocated from the “Carriage House” at the Eveleth-Crafts-Sheridan Historical House to the Center for Moosehead History, conveniently situated in downtown Greenville at 6 Lakeview Street. This move marks a significant milestone for the Moosehead Historical Society and opens up exciting new opportunities for us and our visitors.

The new location is more accessible to the public year-round, making it easier for everyone to visit, engage, and connect with us. This relocation also enables us to expand exhibit spaces at both the Carriage House and the Center for Moosehead History, offering an enriched and enhanced experience for our guests. The historic auditorium at the Center will now come to life more frequently, hosting programs and meetings in a dynamic and versatile setting.

Additionally, the new space provides expanded office and research areas, accommodating our growing team of volunteers and fostering a more inspiring and productive working environment. These changes reflect our unwavering commitment to serving the community and celebrating the rich history of the Moosehead region.

This is an exhilarating new chapter for the Moosehead Historical Society, and we are excited to welcome you to our new home in the heart of downtown Greenville. We invite you to stop by, explore the exhibits, and experience all that the Center for Moosehead History has to offer!
