About Coe House Museum

The Coe House Museum occupies an 1870s brick home in Grass Lake, Michigan, kept as a museum since the early 1970s by the Grass Lake Area Historical Society. Visitors can take guided or self-guided tours through rooms furnished in the Victorian era, and browse historic photographs and archive materials about hometown life. The museum also hosts community events and themed museum days. The house was built in the Italianate Tuscan Vernacular style, and over the decades it passed through several owners, including a period as a railroad employee boarding house. Volunteers restored it after the historical society bought it in 1972, and it opened to the public as a museum in 1977.
