The Bay
Mills-Brimley Historical Research
Society was founded in 1981 as a
non-profit organization for the
purpose of establishing a local
history museum. In the meantime the
US Forest Service asked the Society
to help restore the Pt. Iroquois
Light House. Through to co-operative
volunteer efforts of the Historical
Society, the Light House was
restored and a small museum was
established. With that project
complete, the Society turned its
attention to its original purpose
and focus- preserving local history.
It is responsible for the
restoration of the railroad cars and
the establishment of the Wheels of
History Museum in Brimley which
opened July 1,1995. A Michigan
Equity Grant, a mini grant from the
Michigan Council for Arts and
Cultural Affairs, and generous
donations of time, money, and
materials from local individuals and
businesses make the project
possible.
The Bay Mills-Brimley Historical
Research Society meets monthly,
April-October, in the Superior
Township building in Brimley. Annual
memberships are only $10. They may
