In 1983, the gift of a Corliss 90 horse power steam engine was the catalyst for establishing the Muskegon Heritage Museum. The aim of the museum was to preserve the heritage of industries, businesses and residents of the city. Since 2009 the museum has been revitalized. Two additional floors have been remodeled, taking the exhibition space to 10000 square feet. A Heritage Print Shop, Heritage Machine Works and a permanent exhibition of things 'Made in Muskegon' were set up. Among the artifacts are Raggedy Ann, school desks, golf clubs and a bowling alley. The museum is open from mid-May to mid-October.
