Tecumseh Area Historical Museum

The Tecumseh Area Historical Museum, located in a beautifully restored 1913 fieldstone church, houses a wealth of history and artifacts from Tecumseh and Lenawee County. We have a gift shop on site. Inside displays include the Dynamic Kernels project started by resident Perry Hayden after hearing a sermon and bible verses in his church on God's abundance and tithing. This six-year process took 1 cubic inch of wheat, 360 kernels, giving 10% to the church and replanting the remainder for a period of six years on property owned by Henry Ford. Where a total of 72,150 bushels were harvested in the final year, 
Perhaps you might be interested to hear about the "Refrigeration Capital of the World" that started in Tecumseh by Charles Sage and Kenneth Herrick under the name of Tecumseh Products. These men, in their lifetime and beyond, have encouraged the community to grow with housing complexes, arts and humanities, fire and police protection, and schools and educational pursuits.
The military plays a big part in Tecumseh history and with varying displays of the wars that impacted residents of this community. Historian Robert Elliott showcases several of these individuals in the book Hometown Heroes available in the gift shop with many more books on the town. Of course, with the name "Tecumseh" there is a Native American display of items found in the area and about the Shawnee native whom the town was named after.
