For over 20 years Historic Brighton has offered programs and published quarterly newsletter/journals on our mission to explore our town’s history and educate our community about Brighton’s past.

Our organization includes professional historians, researchers, librarians, architects, long-time Brighton residents, and many others who possess a strong curiosity about their surroundings.

We have covered the Seneca Indians, our neighborhoods and sites, local cultural and religious institutions, historic personages, architectural history, historic preservation and many other subjects.

Our archive of journals on Brighton history is here. Specific topics may be searched through our comprehensive index.
