Howell Area Historical Society

    
​When we feel that it is safe for our patrons and ourselves, we will open in 2021. At that time, the Depot will be showcasing the passage of the 19th Amendment - Women's Suffrage, which was ratified in 1920.  We will also be presenting an interactive telegraph.  Bring the kids.  They will find it fascinating. Some older kids may enjoy it, also.
We are hosting a Rada Cutlery Fundraiser for the holiday season. Please click button below to shop:
If you order holiday gifts through Amazon Smile for the holidays, please consider designating Howell Area Historical Society as your  non profit.  The Depot Museum will receive a percentage of your purchase price as a donation.
