Clarkston, c. 1900
HOW WE BEGAN
In the early 1970s, the village was in danger of losing many of its historic homes and businesses when the state of Michigan considered widening Main Street to four lanes to accommodate truck traffic. Concerned citizens mobilized to stop the project by adding village structures to the National Register of Historic Places. Many of those citizens then channeled their devotion to preserving village history into forming the Clarkston Community Historical Society.
OUR MISSION
The Clarkston Community Historical Society has been created in order to bring together those people interested in the history of our community; and, as far as possible, to collect and/or preserve such things that are of historic interest.
