Lakeshore Museum Center - Muskegon, Michigan

Lakeshore Museum Center

MUSKEGON, MICHIGAN

The Lakeshore Museum Center consists of 5 historic buildings.  The Hackley and Hume House, the City Barn, the Fire Barn Museum, and the Scolnick House. There's something for everyone so bring the whole family.  The season runs from May through October and they have special tours and events between November and April.
​Charles H. Hackley hired David S. Hopkins from Grand Rapids to design and build the Hackley House, the Hume House, and the City Barn with construction taking place between 1887-1889.  Mr. Hackley wanted the structure restored to its original appearance in 1890.  The home is a unique mix of Victoria architecture and late nineteenth century interior art deco.  They hired nationally known artisans from Chicago and New York in combination with samples that were uncovered during the restoration in order to breath life back into the 13 color exterior paint.  The house was expanded by the family in order to create a library as well as a larger dining room with geometric tile flooring, and a second floor sleeping porch off a bedroom that had a terne metal floor.  The exterior of the home still proudly displays the original 14 tone restored color scheme.  
​
The City Barn was named due to the functionality and location where it is located in the city.  Both families shared the City Barn and used it to house horses, equipment and two coachmen who lived on the second floor living quarters.  Features from both the Hackley and Hume Houses were incorporated into the City Barn.  Things like the onion dome, which was of Moorish influence from the Hackley House, and the turret on the Hume House were both combined to create the style of the City Barn.  

The collection at the Lakeshore Museum Center consists of about 58,000 items that are related to the natural and cultural history of the Muskegon County area.  The collection has everything from tax records to plat maps and even information on previous inhabitants of Muskegon Country.  There are well over 10,000 photographs that illustrate people, places and events which helped make Muskegon County what it is today.  

 - Museum Hours - Mon, Wed &  Fri | 10am-4pm | Tues & Thurs | 11:am-4pm -
