Archibald Jones Historical Research Center

Located in the Benzie Area Historical Museum

 

The NEW Archibald Jones Historical Research Center

Opened in 2026, the Archibald Jones Historical Research Center was made possible through the vision and generosity of Dr. Stacy Leroy Daniels and Carol Yvonne Daniels.  This facility offers increased access to our growing Archives Collections, introduces a dedicated Research Library, and includes a new Exhibit Gallery that tells the powerful story of Archibald Jones and the Lowering of Crystal Lake.

Our Mission

The Archibald Jones Historical Research Center preserves our shared history by connecting the past and present through research, community access, digital innovation – ensuring our history remains a living resource for future generations.
