Genealogy starts here

Preserving the memories of Beaver Island families is just as important as preserving the artifacts of the past. Get in touch with your roots with the help of the Beaver Island Historical Society.

Discover your family history

The Society is dedicated to collecting, restoring, preserving, and interpreting information about Beaver Island’s multifaceted past. From this comes an understanding that without you, and those who came before you, there would be nothing to collect, restore, preserve or interpret. There would, in fact, be no Beaver island history and no Beaver Island Historical Society.

Our goal is to provide information to help shape your family story.
