There is so much history to this small piece of land that is now called Escanaba Park. Revetment work in 1857 formed what became known as the “Government Pond” or “Government Basin”. These first revetment diggings were placed to narrow and improve the channel, as well as halt the erosion at the bend in the river, known as “The Lower Diggings”. However, Commander of the Coast Guard ( 1930- 1933) had a different vision for this waste land in the city of Grand Haven.

The Coopersville Historical Museum was originally established by the Coopersville Area Historical Society in 1987 and was formally known as the Coopersville Area Historical Society Museum. The Museum’s main building, a charming brick structure, was once a depot and substation for the Grand Rapids, Grand Haven & Muskegon Railway, an electric rail line that served the area from 1902-28. Adjoining this historic structure is the rustically designed Sawmill and Early Settlers Building, which was completed in the early 2000’s
