That Strawberry Lake was a summer home of the Potawatomi, long before Euro-Americans ever reached its shores?
That the lakes and rivers also drew the first permanent settlers to the township in 1831, six years before Michigan became a state?
That farming and milling were the first ways that people made a living, until two railroads criss-crossed here in the 1880s and opened up the area to tourism and industry?
All this history and more laid the groundwork for what Hamburg Township is today. We invite you to tour the museum, to see how it all began!
