The place worth visiting in Arcadia is the Arcadia Historical Museum - run by volunteers, it is one of the best run facilities describing the history of a town that I've seen! If you have Manistee county relatives who may have lived in the area, you can find out about them here. We bought a house in this town and had no idea that one of my relatives had been a caretaker of some property just south of Arcadia lake! The Arcadia Historical museum is very low key in asking for donations ie.. they don't but just the same, if you visit, throw in the bowl what you think the visit is worth. The museum features old yearbooks, maps, and photos. It has exhibits dedicated to Henry Starke, Harriet Quimby, and other historical figures of Arcadia's rich past.
