Inscription. Tyrone Township was settled in 1834, and Joseph M. Becker was elected as the first township supervisor in 1838. Township meetings were held in the homes of the townsfolk until 1887, when this hall was erected on Hartland Road at a cost of $640. Locally referred to as the town house, it served as a gathering place for township business, elections, and 4-H activities until a new hall was constructed in 1967. In 1975, as a bicentennial project, the town house was relocated, restored and rededicated on this site.

Erected 1980 by Michigan History Division, Department of State. (Marker Number L0704.)

was moved from its original location on Center Road to its new location on Runyan Lake Road, south of Center Road, on June 8, 2023. The building was going to be demolished, but residents raised enough funds to preserve the building and have it moved to the grounds of the current Tyrone Township Hall. The historical marker has not been re-installed, and its whereabouts is unknown. The State may decide to decommission the historical marker since the building no longer resides at its original location.
