The Chesaning Area Historical Society and Museum is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to preserve, discover and memorialize the history of Chesaning and the surrounding area. Our wonderful little museum is a local treasure and we love to have guests – children’s groups, local clubs and civic organizations, and especially you.
The Chesaning Area Historical Society and the River Rapids Public Library have partnered together to give their patrons access to valuable new tools for historical and geneaological research.
The Chesaning Area Historical Society has helped place a new historical marker in Showboat Park celebrating the eight decade-long history of the beloved Showboat music festival.
The historical society has been restoring the sign that once hung above the Showboat Restaurant, and it can now be seen on display outside the museum.
Hours are subject to volunteer availability. The museum is closed from January thru March while we update the exhibits.
