Wonderful remodel of an old bank building, with many interesting features, including the vault. No food is served, but you are allowed to bring in whatever you'd like to eat. The owner and staff are friendly and helpful. You can ask for a sample of what is on tap. There is bench seating inside the old bank vault, as well as seating above in a loft.

What can I possibly say?
MontagueMuseum
8717 Meade St, Montague
Located in the former UnitedMethodistChurch built in 1872, “at the top of the hill”, this museum is surprising with its number of objects on display. First and foremost, it chronicles through photos, clippings, and artifacts the history of the town of Montague, from its logging past to its modern presence. There is even a room “dedicated” to Miss Michigan of 1961, Nancy Ann Fleming, who hails from Montague. Beyond local history, the museum is a gathering of lots of implements from the past, from children’s valentines, to old cameras, tools, instruments, toys, police and fire items, and to past appliances and conveniences of the late nineteenth and early part of the twentieth century. For the most part, you can touch and handle many items and read old newspapers and other primary source material that sits on the tables. Though tiny by comparison to HenryFordMuseum, it manages to mimic the collections in the same way. But it is not a tiny place…you will still need a good hour or more to explore all of the many artifacts; it really is an admirable collection of our past lives. The museum is open on Saturday from 1 to 5 pm. The museum is also a Pokestop.

This place is full of nostalgia! Bring your family in to see all the old equipment. Sit on the swivel seats at the counter and order a malted milk shake or ice cream sundae.
