The 2025 season at the Edwardsburg Area Historical Museum will get underway on April 15, when the first exhibit, “Everyone Loves a Parade,” opens. The display features a variety of pictures from past Edwardsburg parades, along with parade memorabilia such as commemorative plates and mugs. The Edwardsburg High School band department has loaned several instruments which will be housed in the museum’s glass cases.

The second exhibit, “Sauk Trail: Echoes of the Past,” will be front and center from July 22 to November 1. That display will be highlighted by two glass cases of artifacts that the Pokagon Band of the Potawatomi Indians will loan to the museum and set up. Other museum areas will showcase items that would have been used when the Village of Edwardsburg was first settled in the 1820s, such as grinding wheels and stones, woodworking tools, and old axes.

“Tis the Season,” will end the year. It will highlight all items that revolve around the holidays, with trees, garlands, and many ornaments. That display will run from Nov. 4 through Dec. 13.

The museum opens a month early this year. Hours are 2 to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays, and 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays. It also will be open on the second Wednesday of each month from 6 to 8 p.m. It will close Dec. 13 and re-open in mid-spring, 2026.
