The Society has a large collection of historical and genealogical
information related to Arenac County. Browse our on-line "library" for a
sampling. Visit our Museum for much more.
The Museum has a number of local historical and genealogical records in its collection.
These records are available for viewing and research at the museum.
Many of the volumes of printed material in the museum collection are being indexed to
provide a means to quickly locate information on important individuals and events.

These pictures are from glass negatives that were loaned to the Society to copy for the
Museum collections. They were loaned by Bruce Young, whose grandfather, Mr. VanHorn, grew
up at Point Lookout. Around 1905, as his grandfather was going through college, he needed
money. His solution was to purchase a camera and take pictures at the Point and
surrounding areas. We have added captions to a few of the pictures that we had information
on and a few are overexposed, but are included also as they are still interesting.
