The
Oceana County Historical Society was organized in 1967 with an
organizational meeting in Pentwater. In 1974 the Swift Lathers home in
Mears, Michigan was given by the family for a museum. Since that small
beginning, the museum has grown into a Historical
Park which includes five buildings and one storage building. In
addition, the Society now is the proud owner of the historic " Swedish
Mission Church". And in 1984 the society purchased the Chadwick-Munger
house from the county to be used as its headquarters. The Society is a
non-profit organization, relying totally on dues from its membership and
gifts from individuals. There is no
paid staff. A dedicated staff of volunteers maintain genealogical material
and collected artifacts. Volunteers also conduct tours of the museum,
answer questions about Oceana history, and conduct fundraiser's.
