WE’VE MOVED

The Terry Wantz Historical Research Center has had the wonderful opportunity to move our operation across the street to the (former) Print Shop. Come check out our new location.

29 W Main St., Fremont, MI 49412

The Terry Wantz is a place to research our local history. Please brows our site and explore just the beginning of what our center has to offer.
