The Historical Society of Lincoln Park and its supporters collect and preserve artifacts, as well as printed and photographic materials pertaining to the history of Lincoln Park, Michigan, a neighbor community of the City of Detroit. The Historical Museum is a community resource that houses our collections and exhibits these in an attempt - both educational and engaging - to tell the story of Lincoln Park.

We are excited to announce the fall release of the newly-published Lost Lincoln Park, the latest book to touch on the history of the Lincoln Park community. Using resources of the museum archives and collections, Lost Lincoln Park gives us an overview of many community landmarks and land uses that have changed or been lost over time, but still are vital to understanding our story; this is especially timely as we celebrate our centennial year here in 2025.

Award-winning comic book artist and illustrator Bill Morrison, a native of Lincoln Park, has created a new piece entitled, “Made in Lincoln Park, MI”, in honor of his hometown. Historical Society members and the Lincoln Park community will recall that Bill was awarded the “Key to the City of Lincoln Park” when a major retrospective exhibition of four decades of his work opened at the Historical Museum in October 2016.
