The Troy Museum is located at 60 W. Wattles, the northwest corner of Wattles and Livernois in the former Township and City Hall, surrounded by the Historical Village Green. The main building, designed by Birmingham architect J. Bissel and built in 1927 under the direction of Township Supervisor, Morris Wattles, was modeled after a Dutch Colonial Tavern in Troy, New York. It houses the Museum offices, exhibit, a reference library, and a gift shop. Built as part of the Township Hall was the Pioneer Room. In 1966, after the completion of the new City Hall, the Museum opened on this site and has operated continuously since.
Refreshments are available.
