The library is non-profit and all our workers are volunteers. The money we receive from research fees is used to keep our library and society functioning. The library is housed in the former residence of Georgiana Peet Miller, who donated her house to the society upon her death. The library started in her basement and has since moved into the main house.

Georgiana Koskette (Peet) Miller

(20 Nov 1905 – 21 Oct 2000)

Georgiana Peet Miller was one of the founders of the Gratiot County Historical Society. She talked the group into becoming a genealogical as well as historical society and started a genealogy library in her basement. Later she designated the society as benefactors of her estate. Her gracious home is now a center for GCHGS meetings and activities. The Genealogy Library occupies part of the main floor, with a Michigan Room and Out of State/Out of Country Room on the second floor. The Peet Trust also provided income to maintain the property.
