The Heritage Museum and Cultural Center is pleased to announce that the organization is returning to its historic name, the Fort Miami Heritage Society, reaffirming its commitment to preserving and sharing the rich history of the Benton Harbor and St. Joseph area. As part of this renewed focus on its core mission, the Society’s archives have been relocated to 777 Riverview Drive, Suite D109, Benton Harbor, Michigan. Researchers, historians, and community members can now also access the archives online at fortmiami.catalogaccess.com, making local historical resources more accessible than ever before. Work continues on expanding the Society’s online presence to include even more historical information and archival materials. If there is something you are seeking that does not yet appear in the online archive, it does not necessarily mean the Society does not have it in its collections. Community members are encouraged to contact the Fort Miami Heritage Society to arrange an in-person research appointment. A new website is being developed as well as a new social media presence during this rebranding period. Continue to communicate through this page during this transition.
