Historical Museum of Bay County

The Bay County Historical Society is a non-profit organization that manages the Historical Museum of Bay County and cares for the Trombley Centre House located in Veterans Memorial Park.

The roots of the Bay County Historical Society began over 135 years ago when a group of citizens created the Bay County Pioneer Society with the purpose of preserving the history of Bay County. While lasting less than two decades, this "pioneering" group of some of Bay County's most prominent citizens paved the way for the current society which dates back to 1919. The Bay County Historical Society was formed with the intent of promoting the study, collection and preservation of Bay County's story. Rising from humble beginnings and continuing to reach for the highest level of standards, the Bay County Historical Society continues its commitment to preserving our history through the backing of our members.

The mission of the Bay County Historical Society is to preserve the history of Bay County and to develop facilities and programs dedicated to the enhancement, enrichment and enjoyment of our community.
