Founded in 1976, East Jordan’s Portside Art and Historical Society was the first historical museum established in Charlevoix County. There are two locations where you can view historical displays and artifacts.
East Jordan Historial Society Museum
Downtown East Jordan at City Hall - 201 Main St. This downtown exhibit has had a major facelift as the museum curators catalogued and organized the vast exhibits. The museum is open during regular City Hall hours and during East Jordan’s many summer events. Stop by to see the exhibits, or purchase our recently re-published “East Jordan Remembers: A Collection of Stories About East Jordan’s Past.” Admission price is donation only.
