Bridgman-Lake Township Historical Society
History
The Bridgman-Lake Township Historical Society was formed in 2006 to compile and preserve a complete and accurate history of this area. We recently released a book entitled Bridgman-Lake Township: The First One Hundred Years 1856-1956.

Books are also available at Liskey Insurance and the Bridgman Garden & Feed.
Mission Statement
The ongoing mission will be to "perpetually seek, collect and preserve items of historical value to the community in the form of photographs, writings, documents and artifacts; and to make that material available for periodic displays at the Bridgman Public Library and other public venues. The Society will strive to instill in the community an awareness and appreciation for local history; and to that end will encourage the public and parochial schools of Bridgman to include Bridgman and Lake Township history as a permanent part of the official curriculum."
Goals
While this is a critical first step, it is equally important to maintain an ongoing focus and emphasis on the communication and preservation of our heritage. We have therefore launched a membership drive to enlist the participation of community members, hoping that they will agree to join in the effort to preserve our great heritage. Please help to ensure that the history and memories of Bridgman and Lake Township live forever by becoming a member of the Society.
