Help Us Move Our Historic
Town House!
Tyrone Township Historical Society
Take a moment and ask yourself, what is the value of our community’s history; the stories of the families who have lived here for generations, who built and served this town; the moments and memories they shared and the buildings they shared them in. What are they worth to you?
Our Historic Town House is one of Tyrone Township’s few historic buildings. It was designated as a historic site by the State of Michigan, and was a place built to bring a community of people together. The Town House provided a space where gatherings of all sorts, meetings, and elections were held. It was THE common thread that brought this small community together. There are residents living here today whose lives have been committed to caring for this building, but more importantly the stories & moments that come with it. These are the same people who have archived and protected our legacies, both written and verbal. Isn’t this the fabric of who we are as a community? Isn’t it the lives we’ve lived and the moments we share together that weave the unique tapestry of who we are as collective residents of Tyrone Township?
Our Township leaders have moved to a new building around the corner from the old. RCP is determined to help Tyrone Township’s Historical Society preserve Historic 1887 Town Hall Building. The property has been sold, and the window of opportunity to preserve our little bit of Tyrone Township history will be extended so that the Historical Society can seek funds for this project. To many, the Town House is a foundational piece that represents the very core of who we are together. It’s a treasure not to be lost or forgotten, but to be cherished & protected. The voices of the people that built and served this community for decades deserve to be heard, to know their work and their stories have value. The thing we must all understand is that once lost, this is something that cannot be replaced. Once again, I ask you to come together and help us preserve this important legacy.
