Old Mormon Print Shop Museum

The Old Mormon Print Shop Museum in Beaver Island, MI, is a historical treasure that offers visitors a glimpse into the fascinating past of the island. Built in 1850, it served as a print shop where the first newspaper in Northern Michigan was published, along with religious tracts and Mormon doctrines by King James Jesse Strang and his followers.

Today, the museum showcases the life and times of Strang, who was crowned as the King of his people and ruled over them for eight years. With exhibits on early Irish life, Native American materials, and a display depicting the island's changes through matching photographs, the museum provides a comprehensive understanding of the island's rich history.
