A dream come true…Francis Light, along with Criss Goad and Pat Bauder, had a dream to provide space for people to experience miniatures as fine art. From 2007 through today, that dream continues to become a bigger and better reality. Here is the journey.
National Miniatures Trust establishes the Museum located in a farmhouse on the Gilmore Car Museum property in Hickory Corners, Michigan.
Founder Francis Light re-establishes the museum as the Midwest Miniatures Museum (MMM), an independent museum, remaining at the Hickory Corners location.
MMM becomes a member organization of Barry Community Foundation (BCF).
Founder and Board Chairman Francis Light passes away on October 12.
MMM obtains 501(c)(3) status, separate from BCF.
The Light collection and endowment formally received by the Museum.
Property search begins for a more appropriate structure and location.
Robbins House in Grand Haven, Michigan is purchased as the new Museum facility.
Retrofit of the Robbins House begins.
The Midwest Miniatures Museum re-opens in Grand Haven, Michigan.
