The Friends of Historic Meridian Legacy Society honors individuals who choose to leave a lasting gift to the Meridian Historical Village through their estate plans.
Your Legacy, Our Future
For over 50 years, the Meridian Historical Village has preserved and shared the stories of Michigan's pioneer past. A planned gift ensures that these stories — and the eight historic buildings that tell them — will continue to educate and inspire future generations.
