Description
The Niles History Center is the historic Chapin Mansion and the Fort St. Joseph Museum, both located in downtown Niles, Michigan. Henry and Ruby Chapin constructed their magnificent home in 1882. Colorful stained glass windows, beveled mirrors, impressive brass chandeliers, beautiful hand-carved wood work and nine fireplaces will transport you back to the ornate Aesthetic period of the 1880s. Tours of the Chapin Mansion are led by trained docents and allow visitors an inside look into this beloved Niles landmark.
The Fort St. Joseph Museum is located in the former carriage house of the Chapin Mansion and tells the story of Niles from the prehistoric era through the 17th century founding of Fort St. Joseph to the modern business and industrial era. Child-friendly exhibits and activities make the Museum fun for all ages. Join us for educational programs, including field trips, group tours, family programs, walking tours of the city's historic downtown district, and more!
