The Troy Historic Village, situated in the city of Troy, Michigan, offers a unique glimpse into the lifestyle of the inhabitants of Troy Township during the 1800s. The village features a variety of carefully restored buildings that reflect the architectural and cultural heritage of the time. Visitors can explore the main building, a log cabin, a Greek Revival Home, a brick one-room school, print shop, wagon shop, a town hall, a general store, and a turn of the century church and parsonage.
The Main Building: City Hall
The main building of the Troy Historic Village, originally known as Troy Township and later renamed as the city hall, is a significant architectural landmark. It was designed by the architect J. Bissell in 1927 and was modeled after a Dutch colonial tavern in Troy, New York. The building was remodeled under the leadership of township supervisor Morris Wattles, and the museum opened inside the building in 1966.
The Log Cabin
The Log Cabin at the Troy Historic Village is a one-room home that provides a vivid depiction of the life of a pioneer in the 1840s. The cabin features a fireplace that was used for heat and cooking, a bed made of rope where the parents slept, and a loft where the children slept on straw mattresses covered with quilts. This exhibit offers a tangible experience of the living conditions and daily life of the pioneers.
