About The Historical Society of Battle Creek
Our mission is to collect, preserve, and share Battle Creek history.
Founded in 1916,
The HSBC has been dedicated to preserving and sharing the rich history of Battle Creek. Over the years, we've expanded our efforts to include the stewardship of the Kimball House Museum, the establishment of the Battle Creek Archives, and the hosting of community events like the Strawberry Festival and Victorian Tea.
Our vision is a community united with its past and proudly celebrating its collective heritage.
We strive to make history accessible and engaging for all, fostering a deeper connection to our shared story.
