The 17 historic buildings of the Sanilac County Historic Village & Museum are the heart of our mission. Each structure represents a chapter of Sanilac County’s story and requires ongoing care, maintenance, and preservation to ensure it remains standing for future generations.

Building sponsorships play a critical role in this work. Sponsorship support directly funds the repair, upkeep, and long-term preservation of our historic structures. With rising maintenance needs and increasing costs, these partnerships are more important than ever.

Sponsorships are available to individuals, families, local businesses, and service organizations who wish to demonstrate their commitment to preserving local history.
