The Country Store Museum is housed in the old Papermill School building which got its name from the nearby Christopher McDowell Papermill. This one-room schoolhouse was built in the 1860's and was used as a school until 1962. It is now used as a replica of a common country store of about 1918. Exhibits are authentic, with artifacts donated by local families and businesses.
A limited number of items are still sold at this "store" to the delight of children (and their parents) who are avid customers of the "penny" candy and small souvenirs.
Open only for special events and group tours by appointment.

Navarre Anderson Trading Post Complex
3775 North Custer Road
The Trading Post complex is set up to represent a French pioneer homestead along the River Raisin. The main building, built in 1789 by Utreau Navarre, is the oldest wooden residence still standing in the state. It is the most complete example of French-Canadian "piece-sur-piece" construction in the Old Northwest. It has been restored to 1797. Other buildings include an 1810 cookhouse and a replica 1790's French-Canadian style barn.
Visitors may walk the grounds at any time.
Open only for special events and group tours by appointment.
