MISSION STATEMENT

“To inspire the community’s memory of its history and to gather, publish and disseminate that information in the form of a book. 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 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.”

History

The Bridgman-Lake Township Historical Society was formed last year to compile and preserve a complete and accurate history of this area. We are deep into the gathering of information and publication of a book to be titled Bridgman-Lake Township-The First One Hundred Years.

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 are therefore launching 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.
