 Historical Corner

by the Livingston Centre Historical Society

    The Livingston Centre Historical Society is pleased to announce the completion of the Kirkland House roof repairs and replacement. C.L.E. Construction and Metal Roofs of Michigan did a great job on this historic structure, so it can be a vibrant attraction at the Historic Village for years to come.

    The entire Village is looking great this summer, thanks to volunteers Rick's Outdoor Services and Chase Langdon of Roots and Branch Landscaping, two of our local sponsors, who are so generous with their time and talents.

    Peachy Kay's Cleaning Services is working hard keeping the buildings tidy, in preparation for the many guests who visit the Historic Village during Fowlerville Family Fair week.

    Committee members are very grateful for all the local sponsors who joined together and made this happen. The generous donations to cover the financial obligations, as well as the Fall Fest attendees, are the reason the building will be with us for many more years. Interior restoration will continue in the coming months; please contact LCHV2023@gmail.com to volunteer services in plastering, painting, and similar tasks.

    The Livingston Centre Historical Society is seeking volunteers to serve as tour guides during fair week. This is a great opportunity for anyone needing leadership or volunteer hours for FFA, scouts, 4-H, or school projects. Committee members can then serve as docents, greeting tours inside the historic buildings.

    Please continue to watch your Fowlerville News & Views for more information of Historic Village hours during Fair week, on volunteering to demonstrate traditional activities, and for plans of the next Fall Fest (Sept. 13). Sign up for Fall Fest vendors has started---please follow Facebook / Livingston Centre Historical Village for details or email LCHV2023@gmail.com.

    For anyone interested in membership on the committee, the next meeting will be in the Historical Village chapel (the Green Church) at 11:00 a.m. on June 25. New members are always welcome!
