Welcome to The HSBC
The Historical Society of Battle Creek (HSBC) was founded January 16, 1916 during an organizational meeting held in the Post Building.
Our mission is to collect, preserve and share Battle Creek History.
The Historical Society of Battle Creek is a 100% volunteer-run, 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
