Historic moment

Wayne County Commissioner and for-
mer Wayne Mayor Al Haidous, left,
helped the Wayne Historical
Commission and Society members cel-
ebrate a $191,000 grant secured to
rehabilitate and remodel the museum
building, first constructed in 1878.
Haidous made the official announce-
ment of the grant award during a meet-
ing at the museum last week. Officials
said that the museum building is "in dire
need of repairs and through this grant,
this historic building will last for genera-
tions to come." The building has
housed the Village of Wayne and
Nankin Township offices and fire equip-
ment and even served as the Village of
Wayne jail. The building, which now
houses memorabilia and historic docu-
ments, has been designated as a histor-
ical site and the State of Michigan
Historical Marker was dedicated in
October of 1987.
