Features of HOH 2019:
Heritage Tea
The Women's Institutes will provide tea and coffee and tasty treats, back by popular demand. Sit for a while and visit with friends and neighbours. Talk some local history - or not.
The Heritage Tea is always a fun part of the History Open House and we thank the WI's for working so hard to make it work so well. Thanks a lot!

Brighton Digital Archives (BDA):
Sit in the theatre and watch the videos produced by BDA, starting with 'Brighton I Remember" featuring local residents telling their stories of times past. Then, brand new for this event, "Rural Roots" by Dan Buchanan, The History Guy of Brighton, a video reprise of the Rural Roots presentation of History Week 2018. BDA has done great work in the community in a few short years but they will tell you there is lots more to come. Thanks BDA!
