The Frankenmuth Historical Association strives to “preserve, communicate,
and celebrate” the unique heritage of Frankenmuth and the surrounding Franken colonies. Operating within the association are a seven-gallery museum detailing the history and evolution of the community, a collections department housing thousands of artifacts and documents, an education department dedicated to presenting our story, and a unique gift shop offering locally crafted and European goods. In addition, the association owns and operates the historic Fischer Hall (attached to the museum), built in the 1890’s, hosting concerts, parties, and local civic events, the Nickless-Hubinger flour mill featuring retail establishments, and the authentic Wolkensdörfer log house
on the outskirts of town.

“Unsinkable Titanic” - Opening January 26!
Featuring rare photos, artifacts, a detailed time-line, survivor accounts, and much more, you will be taken back a century to that fateful day in April 1912 when the greatest ship ever constructed by man met its doom in the ice choked waters of the Atlantic. Local historian and Titanic expert, Chad Audinet, has generously shared his treasure trove of photos, books, and rare items with us for this exhibit. In addition, Chad has provided much of the background information and will be assisting in the design and layout of this tribute to one of the world’s most famous disasters, the sinking of the “Unsinkable Titanic”.
