    Coronavirus Announcement
    Northville Historical Society
    Mill Race Village Operations Suspended
    March 16 – April 16, 2020
     

    Keeping the health of our members, patrons, business partners and staff
    in mind, the Board of Directors of the Northville Historical Society has
    decided to close our offices to the public during this time of crisis. Our
    standard policy of suspending operations during Northville Public
    Schools closure is in force. Previously booked private parties will be
    handled on a case-by-case basis. We will continue to promote future
    events in the hope that this crisis will pass quickly. We will host events
    only when doing so does not compromise public health. Check our
    website and Facebook page for updates.
    We thank you for your continued support.

    Jennifer Luikart / Business Director
    Marti Murdock / Finance Manager
