The museum is located on M25 half way between Port Austin and Port Hope Michigan, on the “Tip of the Thumb”. Huron City had its start as a lumber town in 1854 founded by Langdon Hubbard. His descendants are keeping the history alive caring for the buildings and the things he left behind through the William Lyon Phelps Foundation.

The museum is open for guided tours on Fridays and Saturdays in July and August from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
