Arts and Culture Wyandotte Arts Center

Arts IncubatorThe Wyandotte Arts Center is located at 81 Chestnut in the heart of Downtown Wyandotte. The 1911 Independent Order of the Odd Fellows building is an example of a historic structure as an anchor building exhibiting the growth and development of an industrial boom town, Wyandotte, which was the birthplace of the Bessemer Steel process in America. The structure, built by the internationally recognized fraternal service organization, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, exemplifies the efforts of a local chapter to recognize and promote a cultural awareness beyond the grind of the industrial revolution. In 1943 the building was bought by the Fraternal Order of Free and Accepted Masons. The Masons remained in the building for over 50 years, continuing the Odd Fellows' tradition of community service and good fellowship. The building was purchased by the City of Wyandotte in 2008 to preserve the historic structure.
