Meridian Historical Village
The Friends of Historic Meridian was established in 1974 to create and sustain an active appreciation of local history. A variety of community outreach and educational programs await you off-site and on-site, as well as through in-class programs designed to make history come alive.
Visit the picturesque village at Central Park (5151 Marsh Road, Okemos), where historic buildings have been carefully restored. We invite you to enjoy the village grounds and surrounding trails year-round.
For any questions regarding the Historical Village, call the Friends of Historic Meridian at 517.347.7300.
