Nov. 4: A Look at the Chelsea Area Historical Society 50-Year Historical Journey

Courtesy photo of the original members of the Chelsea Area Historical Society.

(Chelsea Update would like to thank Jan Bernath for the information in this story.)

These Chelsea area residents in the photo above founded the Chelsea Area Historical Society 50 years ago. The founders sought to capture the history of Chelsea and the area.

Historical society members read 50 years of minutes to understand the journey that has been traveled from then to now.

Learn about the journey on Monday, Nov. 4, 7 pm, at the Chelsea Depot – from the early days, through a period of declining membership, the nomadic existence until the purchase of the historical society’s home at 128 Jackson St.

Free to members and $10 for non-members.
