The Region of Three Oaks Museum collects and displays historical artifacts, papers and records that tell the story of New Buffalo, Chikaming, Weesaw, and Three Oaks Townships. An earlier museum, the Chamberlain Memorial Museum, was founded in 1916 by the E. Warren Foundation (the first foundation chartered in the state of Michigan). The museum contained some 80,000 artifacts, but was dissolved in
the 1950's, its collections transferred to Michigan State University. In 2008, a group of local citizens set about creating a new Region of Three Oaks Museum, mounting a capital campaign and building a new building on Featherbone Avenue in Three Oaks. The museum is just to the west of Elm Street-- adjacent to the Acorn Theater, one block from Vickers Theater and two blocks from Dewey Cannon Park. Our exhibits, focusing on area history, change frequently, and we offer programs on historical topics of local interest throughout the year,
