About Us:

Since 1824, Tecumseh has been developing a rich history in southeast Michigan. As the first settlement in Lenawee County, Tecumseh has no shortage of stories to tell and information to share. We are proud to showcase how our community has evolved over the years. Exhibits are always changing and highlight important people and historical events that helped to mold Tecumseh into the town we love today. 

Tecumseh Area Historical Society brings together those people interested in history of the Tecumseh community and provides an understanding of the way of life that faced our forefathers yesterday and today.

Our major function is to discover and collect materials which help to establish or illustrate the history of our area; its exploration, settlement, development, and activities; and, its progress in population wealth, education, arts, science, agriculture, manufacturers, trade, and transportation.

TAHS provides and creates interest in the preservation of materials and encourages the preservation of historic buildings, monuments, markers, and other significant items throughout the community. The Society provides accessibility to all who wish to examine or study the materials archived or displayed at the Museum.
