Port Huron, MI — The Port Huron and Detroit Railroad Historical Society is looking for a whole new Board of Directors. The Board needs to be in place by August 28th, 2021 or the Society will dissolve.
In a social media post to members and friends, it was explained that new members are being sought for the positions of President, Secretary, and Treasurer. The Historical Society is reeling from a painful chapter in which a former treasurer was convicted of embezzling substantial funds from the Society.
According to the statement made by the Port Huron and Detroit Railroad Historical Society, the minimal state requirements of a new Executive Board will need to be met or the Society will file for permanent closure of the non-profit.
The Society was created in 2008 to preserve and protect the buildings affiliated with the Port Huron and Detroit Railroad Company and to preserve the history of other railroads in Michigan. Events such as the Tunnel City Railway Show have brought train enthusiasts of all ages together to celebrate the area’s rich rail history.

A letter of intent can be mailed to 2100 32nd Street Port Huron, MI 48060
