Welcome to the Williamston Depot Museum

We’re excited to welcome you to the museum. Come on in to explore our fresh new displays and admire our beautifully restored ceiling. There’s always something new to discover!

Plan Your Visit

​The Williamston Depot Museum is nestled in the charming town of Williamston, Michigan, just 15 miles east of Lansing. You'll find us at 369 West Grand River Avenue. Our museum is dedicated to preserving the history and treasures of Williamston and the surrounding townships of Leroy, Locke, Wheatfield, and Williamstown.
​

Our Mission Is Simple

We're here to gather, preserve, and share the rich history of the Williamston area. We offer a variety of educational experiences through our engaging presentations, fascinating exhibits, and guided tours.

New Resources for Researchers

We’re thrilled to introduce the PEOPLE FINDER database, a fantastic tool for anyone researching family history in the Williamston area. This comprehensive index covers many of the journals, scrapbooks, and notebooks in our collection. You can uncover details about births, deaths, marriages, and more, along with photos and biographical info. Searching is easy—just enter a last name or maiden name, and you’ll see exactly where to find the information in our archives. Need help? Call (517) 996-0196 to get personalized assistance.​

Admission

We're open every Wednesday from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM, and if those times don’t work for you, just give us a call to set up an appointment. You can reach Linda at (517) 420-0971 or Mitch at (517)-974-1853. Admission is free, though we gladly accept donations to support our mission.​
