Preserving the beautiful history of Wakefield, Michigan and the Gogebic Range.

Wakefield Historical Society Museum Michigan Sunday Lake Visitors Center

Construction Update (Posted 12/30/2025)

Beginning January 5, 2026, our museum will be closed to all visitors as construction and renovation work are completed inside of the building. The renovations will focus on replacing damaged lath and plaster walls in a few more of our main floor display rooms. Due to the nature of this construction, we will have NO SET HOURS and will remain closed during the construction. Private tours may be requested by calling Donna at (906) 224-0075, but all tours are subject to approval from Donna based on the safety of the museum at that time. Our closure is expected to last through the spring months of 2026. Please be sure to check out our Facebook page for the most recent updates. See you again next year!
