Calling all members of the Troy Historical Society! We invite members to step back in time to when they were in second grade and experience what the Village does best- a field trip! Dip a candle, do chores in the cabin, and attend the one room school as an 1880s student.
The program will begin promptly at 6pm. Please plan to arrive 5 - 10 minutes early to allow time for parking and checking in.

The Troy Historic Village is located at 60 W. Wattles Road, Troy MI 48098 (northwest corner of Wattles and Livernois). Park in either parking lot. There are accessible parking spots if needed. After you park, go into the Main Building (red brick building with a slate roof facing Wattles) to check in. There is a paved sidewalk that connects the parking lot to the Main Building, and the Main Building has a ramp entrance.
What to Expect
Check-in inside the Main Building (large red brick building facing Wattles). After checking in, you will be directed to your next stop. We will be traveling through three different stations as a group.
Our first stop is in the Log Cabin where we will be making butter inside. We will also have a fire burning in the fireplace. Next, we will be returning to the main building to dip candles in the Pioneer Room. After Candles, we will head to Poppleton School for a one room school house experience where our educator will play the part of a firm Victorian-era school teacher.
All activities take place in buildings, but the Log Cabin can still be chilly. You will also need to walk in between buildings to get to each activity, so please dress in layers.
Seats will be available while our Education Staff presents. Activities will require some standing, walking, slight bending.
