Our Goal...


The Grosse Ile Historical Society is a center of research and learning dedicated to a deeper understanding of the Island experience. Through its collections and programs, the Society seeks to nurture a greater appreciation for our Island history and for the people, ideas,  innovations, values, successes, and failures that bind us together as a community.

We welcome all Islanders both near and far and from students to retirees to join our efforts to preserve what we already have as well as move forward.....
