Our New Home

What a wild and crazy last couple of years. The local history room at the library now has a "professional" person with a Masters degree in Library Science. She tries very hard to do the job but she never lived in the area and still doesn't, so helping people with local history is extremely hard for her. You can only Google so much!

We have opened a new history center in downtown Fremont, Michigan named after Terry Wantz so our official new name is Terry Wantz Historical Research Center in downtown Fremont. We are amazed how fast we are growing. So stop by if you are in the area. We are very proud of what we have achieved. It is worth the stop if for nothing else than to see the beautiful marble ice cream soda bar that was purchased at the Chicago World Fair. Our building is complete with tin ceiling tiles and two genealogist and several volunteers who love what we do and are from the area so we know the local history. Check out our Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/TerryWantzHistoricalResearchCenter

So we are back! Watch for further posts we are activity updating the cemetery records for Newaygo County.
