Carnegie Museum
Constructed in 1904 by Pittsburgh-based steel magnate and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie for $45,000, originally built as the Port Huron Public Library is now the Carnegie. Through the dedicated efforts of concerned volunteers, the Museum of Arts & History opened its doors on May 3, 1968. The Port Huron Museum is proud to have our maritime gallery (with one of the largest model ship collections in Michigan), our From Whence We Came: Black History in the Blue Water Area Exhibit, our Indigenous peoples display, and our music room. There are also several rotating exhibits that change through the year. The galleries blend hands-on experiences with traditional museum displays. This site is fully ADA accessible.
