We believe the preservation of the cultural and physical history of our area brings an understanding to the past and present, and provides a guide for the future. The Marquette Regional History Center not only maintains exhibits, artifacts and a research library, it is a forum for engaging the community and creating links between people.
-Our Mission |
The Marquette Regional History Center is a 501c3, private non-profit organization that was established in 1918. We rely on membership, fundraising events, donations, and admission fees to continue to provide our community and visitors with high quality, educational programming and exhibits.

MRHC Receives MACC Grant
In 2024, the Marquette Regional History Center was awarded a $31,327 grant from the Michigan Arts and Culture Council and National Endowment for the Arts. The grant will assist the MRHC to make facility improvements and to continue the mission to preserve our area's history through compelling exhibits, public programs and classroom field trips. The grant was awarded through the MACC peer review process and is for MACC fiscal year 2024 - 2025 funding. Thank you, MACC!

Organizations receiving a MACC grant award are required to match those funds with other public and private dollars. Local business support of the MRHC include: Swanson, Mercier & Associates, First Bank, TV6, Rotary, and Eagle Mine to name a few. The History Center receives significant volunteer support from the community. We have over 50 active volunteers. Without their help we could not provide the things people have come to expect from us. These dedicated people work with our curator, our educator and with school groups and present public programs, they help with all aspects of the research library and at the front desk welcoming guests. Thank you to our business supporters and to every one of our volunteers!
The MACC peer review process allows for each grant application to be competitively considered by a panel of in-state and out-of-state arts and culture professionals. This ensures the residents of Michigan and visitors will have access to the highest quality arts and cultural experiences. Visit Michigan Arts and Culture Council for a complete list of grant awards around the state.
Thank you, MACC!
As part of the MACC grant process, we complete a Data Arts Funder Report using information from our annual independent audit review. Below is a copy of our most recent Funder Report.
