The Belleville Area
Museum first opened at Old Quirk School in 1989, featuring small-scale replicas
of historical buildings which once stood in Belleville, Sumpter, and Van Buren
Townships. With visitors regularly promenading its “Main Street”, the Museum
became a popular attraction.
In 1995, with Quirk
School slated for demolition, Van Buren Township offered the use of its Old
Township Hall on Belleville’s Main Street as the new site of the Museum. The
Old Township Hall was constructed in 1875 and is a State of Michigan Registered
Historic Site.
Van Buren Township
undertook a major restoration of the Old Town Hall and in cooperation with the
City of Belleville agreed to an arrangement to jointly fund the Museum program.
The Belleville Area
Museum preserves and promotes the history of the community through the
preservation and exhibit of historical artifacts and the presentation of
historical programs and events.
