We are grateful for the support! This helps us continue our mission of preserving and promoting history here in Romeo, Michigan. The Romeo Questers have continued to be great partners. We appreciate you!

If you visit our house museum on Church Street, you will find several projects that have been possible due to the Questers. For example, we will be updating the handicap ramp, windows, front stairs and more soon!

Thanks to Joan Connor, who handles our grant requests, we obtained a $5000.00 grant for the The Romeo Historical Society Museum! We have received grants Internationally and from the State of Michigan since 2010!!!

We also launched a website that uses GIS technology to help locate gravesites. Want to learn more or be in our next cemetery tour? Stop by 290 N Main any Tuesday evening from 7–9 pm!
