Honoring Our Past

Everyday

WE'RE SORRY -  DUE TO UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES, THE MUSEUM AND HISTORIC VILLAGE WILL BE CLOSED TO VISITORS ON JULY 14, 21, AND 28, 2024.

The City of South Lyon celebrated our 150th anniversary in 2023. Just because we are now in 2024 does not mean that we should stop celebrating our history. We invite the community to celebrate and participate in the many events throughout 2024 such as Depot Day, the annual Pumpkinfest parade, Christmas at the Village, Dulcimer concerts, summer concerts in the village and more! Also watch for special events throughout 2024 to help with raising funds for the Roper Barn Project.

Join Us At the Historical Village!

Experience local preserved history at the South Lyon Historical Village, a gem in the South Lyon community.  Created in 1976 by the South Lyon Historical Society, the Historical Village serves as a focal point for the South Lyon area community. 

On Sunday afternoons May through October, the historical village is open to the public and for self tours and guided tours.

PLEASE NOTE: THE SOUTH LYON AREA HISTORICAL SOCIETY IS NOT AFFILIATED IN ANY WAY WITH THE FRIENDS OF THE ROPER BARN.
