Troy Historical Society Troy Michigan "Preserving the Light for Future Generations" Supporting the Troy Museum & Historic Village About the Troy Historical Society The Troy Historical Society was organized in 1966 to promote the appreciation and awareness of the rich heritage of the citizens of Troy, to encourage preservation of records, pictures, structures, and other objects of local historical significance, and to sponsor programs to carry out these purposes. The Society has worked with the City of Troy to develop the Troy Museum and Historic Village. Through this combined effort seven historic buildings have been moved to the Village and restored, making this one of the few city museums in Michigan to have original buildings on site.
