Special Speaker Event
Save the date for a special speaker event on Thursday, October 1, at 6:00 PM at St. Paul’s Church, located in downtown Brighton, 200 W. St. Paul, Lower Level.
Authors Gail Offen and Jon Milan will present “Grand River Avenue: From Detroit to Lake Michigan,” sharing stories and images from one of Michigan’s most historic routes. We hope to see you there!
After the talk you will be invited to take a short walk to the CoBACH Center to see our newest display: “Grand River Trail: Detroit to Lansing.”
Light refreshments will be available at both events and it would be helpful if you can give me an indication of interest by emailing info@brightonareahistorical.com to let us know if you plan to attend one or both.
Looking forward to seeing everyone soon!

Membership Matters!
What do I get for my BAHS membership?
There are clubs and there are causes. Many join clubs… to use the golf course to socialize with a select group of folks or to get special deals on merchandise. We at the BAHS would rather think of investing in a cause. Our members come together from a wide range of interests and experiences. Together we make a huge difference for our community, families and ourselves.
This world is better when we can observe around the bend and down the street, people working to maintain and preserve the history of the community we love.
Your continued BAHS membership is significant because it provides BAHS with a base of reoccurring funds to do the tasks and projects we do. Your membership dues, donations and sponsorships assist this effort and provides a revenue stream for our future.
Memberships, Donations and Sponsorships Matter! Strengthening our community, one member at a time.
BRIGHTON AREA HISTORICAL SOCIETY NEEDS YOU!
