Brighton History Week 2020

There are TWO EVENTS this year! See you at Brighton Community Centre, King Edward Park for BOTH!

Every Picture Tells a Story

Sunday, February 16, 2020, 2 to 4 pm

Dan Buchanan, The History Guy of Brighton, will present a unique glimpse into Brighton history through pictures and video clips from the Brighton Digital Archives web site and other historical collections. Topics will touch on the Codrington General Store, the Brighton Masonic Temple, Presqu'ile Point, the Brighton Garage on Main Street in the 1940s, and more. Experience fascinating pieces of the many archival collections of our community. It begins with a picture, and follows links between people, buildings and businesses, across the sweep of Brighton history. It's a small town, so there are lots of connections!  

History Open House

Saturday, February 22, 2020, 10 am to 4 pm

The History Open House is back by popular demand, with new displays and vendors. The BDA will have stations around the room for viewing their videos as well as a place where you can talk to them about their work. The Women's Institute will be back with the Heritage Tea, so come by any time from 10 am to 4 pm, talk some history and enjoy a delicious snack. This is our eighth Brighton History Open House!

Note: These events are supported by the Municipality of Brighton.

Here are some pics from History Open House 2019

The Women's Institute had the Heritage Tea and are back for 2020. Come sit down, have a snack and gab with friends. 

The buzz in the room from good old conversation is something to savour!

The History Guy had his normal complement of boards, computers, books and displays. Different content, but same idea for 2020!
