Onaway Historical Museum

Exhibits from the late 1880s to the 1920s, when Onaway was the Steering Wheel Capital of the World

Located in the majestic, historical Onaway Courthouse, the museum hosts artifacts related to the Lobdell-Emory Plant that burned in 1926. At that time, "Onaway Steers the World" was the slogan for the plant, which was the manufacturing site of wooden steering wheels for the American automobile industry. The courthouse has gone through a community-sponsored restoration.
