In 1870 the Port Huron and Lake Michigan Railroad Company, later the Grand Trunk Railroad, opened a rail line and depot in Capac. The depot reopened as the Capac Community Historical Museum in 1994.

The mission of Capac Historical Society is to provide a meeting place for those people interested in local history, publicly promote knowledge of the history of the Capac Community, promote appreciation of the history of the Capac Community, procure articles deemed worthy of preservation, and provide safe storage and display of these articles.
