Historical Corner
Newly-formed Fowlerville Area Historical Society to focus on local community
The arrival of Spring is bringing new developments in the discovery and preservation of area history. The Livingston Centre Historic Village was the site of improvements in 2025 as a result of dedicated committee members and local volunteers. To build on that, and to reach beyond the Village boundaries, in an effort to sustain and maintain other elements of local history, a new non-profit organization is forming.
The Fowlerville Area Historical Society is an independent group that will join other area groups in strengthening many aspects of this community. This FAHS will meet the 1st Thursday of every month inside Fowlerville District Library, 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm.
The Historic Village will remain in the care of the Livingston Center Historic Society. This is one of the many committees under the umbrella of the Fowlerville Agricultural Society. The FAS reaches into all of Livingston County, while the new FAHS will focus more on the local area, as do the historical societies of other Livingston County towns and municipalities. The FAHS will continue to support the activities within the Historic Village, where Livingston County history is on display in eight preserved buildings.
The FAHS invites all area residents to attend the monthly meetings and learn about upcoming activities, membership opportunities for individuals of all ages, families and local businesses, and to bring the perspective of the many facets of Fowlerville.
Continue to watch the Historical Corner in your Fowlerville News & Views for details and upcoming events, such as the annual Clean Up Day at the Historic Village on May 13th. Information on upcoming history-related presentations at the library can also be found in their column.
The next meeting will be Thursday, May 7 at 6:00 pm. For questions or thoughts to share before then, please email the FAHS at fowlervillehistory@gmail.com. Information, specific dates, and photos can also be found on the Facebook page: Fowlerville Area Historical Society.
