Archives and Research

Are you a Northville resident? Ever wonder about the history of your house or the area that you live in? The Northville Historical Society houses Northville's archives in the Mill Race Village. The NHS invites researchers, students and genealogists to come research.


Cady Inn


The Northville Historical Society welcomes researchers both members and non-members. The archives (located inside the Cady Inn) are open Thursday and Friday from 9am-1pm. There is a $5/day fee for non-members and if you want your research done by an archivist, there is a $20/hour charge. We have a variety of collections for anyone interested in the history of Northville.

The NHS archives house books that include cemetery records, maps, and publications written by Northville residents. They also include Mill Race Village photos, collections of Northville family papers, history of Northville businesses, census records and oral interviews on tape. See the official Northville Historical Society web site for more details.


Remember that the Mill Race Village is open every Sunday 1pm-4pm until October 17. Village grounds are open every day from dawn-dusk except when there are weddings.
