Great historical place that kids can discover of our past generations how they were living by and how to ..
My first play here and it was great - the whole complex is a must see
Good educational place for children. People are nice. I love this general store!
Very knowledgeable staff and wonderfully laid out programs.
Loved visiting this place. Learned a lot of information.
My husband and I got married here on October 7. It was beautiful and the weather was amazing! One of the perks of renting the Village for a wedding is your rent the whole property privately for your guests. Unfortunately right before my bridesmaids were set to start, another bridal party showed up. The Village staff was excellent; they immediately went to the Bridal party and explained that I had a contract and our event was private. According to some of my guests at first they refused to leave, and apparently were pretty rude, but eventually they did leave and we were able to start the wedding. A wedding day is stressful enough and another bride crashing my wedding caused my stress level to skyrocket. Thank you to Nancy and Sue for handling it, and making my day wonderful!
Quaint and comfortable to visit. Troy has done a reasonably good job of preserving historical landmarks from yesteryears. Go if you have a chance and if its open (abbreviated visiting times). A friend of ours had her wedding in the simple Troy Chapel and had her reception catered on the grounds of the site. Good time and great atmosphere.
It is great! If you live in Oakland County and youve never been... You need to schedule a visit! Historic buildings. A piece of history in our backyard. Learn about the life of Michiganders during the 18th and 19 th century. Hands on. For all ages.
A walk back in time to some of the buildings from the past. The historical society take pride in Troy’s history and bring it to every visitors eyes.
The City of Troy has moved and gathered some of its most important historic structures to this one location. This has made it possible to maintain each in its historically correct condition and keep them viewable to the public into the future. With a friendly and knowledgeable staff on hand during open hours, the buildings make it possible to capture an accurate and effective glimpse into the past one would not otherwise get. Though an argument can be made that moving such structures deprives them of the context of location on the land, it is likely that some have been spared destruction by having been relocated. This is an important and informative gathering not to be missed by the those curious about how the past informs the present. It is also an accomplishment the citizens of Troy can be proud of!
We chose the vIllage as our wedding venue after considering several locations, and are thrilled with the experience. Every person we dealt with was cordial and accommodatiñg. From the rental manager, receptionist, and every staff person, especially Michael, our oñ-site coordinator,we encountered welcoming and support. The rental agreement is specific, reasonable, and affordable.
They charged us full price while 3 buildings were out of service and one had construction men working in. When I called to complain, nothing was done at all. Super disappointed and will never return!!
Ive very much enjoyed the blacksmith classes offered at the village. They are the most reasonably priced around and well done.
The older lady with grey short hair absolutely rude as hell! Came there for a quick wedding picture and she yelled at the party and shamed the bride and the military bridal party. She didn’t ask nicely, she completely started yelling at us and shaming us like children. The bride was humiliated in front of the bridal party and the people walking around. I would never set foot in there again! To talk that way to our military members!! RUDE
Quiet and beautiful place where they have preserved a piece of history for us and our kids to see. It was lovely to see all the buildings and homes of those times . Enjoyed the tour of the place with my daughter
Small, fun setting. Buildings from Troys past... Troy First United Methodist original church has been beautifully restored and is just one of many structures to see.
Great place for a fun, organized field trip. They also have yoga on Tuesday evenings in the summer. Check the schedule.
Reserved the place for $100 and took our wedding photos here, and they turned out great! Awesome people to work with.
Great place, my 7year old loved it. Enjoyed making bees wax candles. Loved the one room school house.
I do blacksmithing here so they charge like 150 for 12 hours of anvil time, split into 2 hour days. At Smith Shop, which is the only other place that offers open anvil, its almost 40 dollars an hour...
Very cool
Adorable place. Very cleaned and well maintained. Beautifully landscaped. I visited on a field trip and it was a great program for the kids.
Nice museum but better when its not so cold outside, due to having to walk building to building for the tour.
Worths visit for kids. (School does it every year)
Nice little educational museum
Wonderful local, history museum. Went after a big snowfall and the docents were fun and friendly.
Beautiful place for a wedding ceremony.
Neat little historic village with some very nice buildings.
Nice historic location and buildings to walk into. Theres a Michigan historic marker around the entrance and 3 more on Livernois with-in 1/2 mile of one another.
A nice small outdoor museum good for families. Its too small for an all-day visit, but its interesting for an hour or two.
Has a lot of stuff and works Great with the community
Amazing historic location and staffs were very accommodating but some facilities were not working.
Oh my gosh , the plantings and flowers are beautiful . Who does all that work ? They must be Angels .
This place is like a tiny Greenfield village. Very cute, tiny village. They give tours to schools. And give lectures.
Always good. Monthly constitutional cafe mertings are very intellectually stimulating.
Wonderful Troy gem, like a miniature Greenfield Village, offering many events for all ages. Check it out!
Awesome blacksmithing classes!
My son had his Wedding there a few weeks ago! Very cute village.
Wonderful historical recreation of a time long ago with year-long events for everyone. Highly recommended.
I attended a wedding here & its an interesting little village that offers a peek into the past.
Lots of information from workers and volunteers during recent open house. New accompanying internet videos also helpful.
Went on a 1st grade field trip. School teacher got way into the role. Interesting place.
Museum may be a little too much to call it, but nevertheless a great local attraction for young children.
Nice to see but hasnt changed or upgraded in decades. Great for viewing once,..
Very nice and clean it was the perfect location for a wedding
Very relaxing atmosphere but staffs were not accommodating.
For a small community history collection, it is very well put together. There is an operating blacksmith forge.
Great staff that acted and behaved like we were really back in the 1800s.
Great place...my favorite field trip with the kids!
Staff was fun and informative. Not enough interactive fun things for the kids to do.
Go back in time and imagine living in the early 1900s. The Historical Village will bring you there.
Friendly staff, interestinhistorical buildings and beautiful quilts today!!
They have a nice little scavenger hunt to do. Highly recommend

2022-01-28Cant say enough good things about this place. They were very patient with the kids and they were also very organized with their presentation. We got to walk around through all the buildings and they were all beautifully set up. All the buildings were heated except one which makes sense do to the history of it. We also got to do a couple crafts to take home, will definitely be visiting again. Thank you to Tom and Matthew for helping with setting this all up.

2022-06-13We had our wedding and reception here and could not be happier with our choice. The venue was perfect. All the buildings were open to tour, which was a fun activity for our guests and made for great photo opportunities. The enclosed nature of the site also made it feel like we were in our own little world on our wedding despite being very accessible. Marian and Michael, the volunteers that we worked with were a dream: accommodating, friendly, and responsive. We got so many compliments from our guests about how unique their experience was; everyone had so much fun. This is THE spot for a wedding your guests will not forget.

2022-05-06I visited the Troy Historic Village with my kids this fall. It is unique and a really neat preservation of history. I was looking forward to going there with my husband and kids tomorrow (Saturday) for Mother’s Day weekend, but I am surprised and disappointed to see that it is not open on weekends. That is really too bad for families who want to go together, especially when one or both parents work during the week so visiting on the weekend is their only option. Please consider opening on Saturdays, even for 3-4 hours in the morning, so all family members can visit together.

2019-07-16Somebody in another review called this a mini Greenfield village. And I would agree with that assessment. It is quite small they have maybe 10 buildings that are all historical buildings from Troy most of them were removed from their original locations and brought to this area, I think one of them is just a replica because they didnt have the actual building. You can go in and see the inside and the outside and see what life was like back in the early days of the city of Troy. They also have a blacksmith shop and there was a lady in there who actually was making tools by hand in the blacksmith shop, it was amazing! She said she learned the trade at the University. So its nice to know that trades like that actually still exist and are being carried on.

2019-01-17I was able to attend this cute little historic village on a field trip with my daughter. It was so fun! The staff was very friendly, and knowledgeable. The first graders got to step back in time and really get a feel for life “back then”. The activities offered for this age group were spot on!

2021-10-28I love this little village! The blacksmith shop and extensive courses are particularly awesome, and quite reasonably priced. A 150yo shop with 250yo bellows still in operation!

2021-11-16My daughters girl scout troop went here recently, it was a good experience. The girls enjoyed the activities and learning about pioneers. Could have been better if there were female staff present for girl scouts.
