HELP SAVE FENTON'S HISTORIC DISTRICT

The home at 106 W. Shiawassee is more than 100 years old and located at the crossroads of the historic business district. We have only a small area of historic buildings left after most of the old downtown was demolished in the 1970's. This house is in danger of being torn down by the DDA and replaced with a new building.

How YOU can help:

~SIGN THE PETITION in the private messages section on the Fenton Historical Society Facebook page, at the Iron Grate at 103 W. Shiawassee, or The A.J. Phillips Museum on Sunday 1-4.

ATTENTION! in regards to saving 106 W. Shiawassee and the Fenton Historic District:

THE DDA has changed the meeting from Tuesday to WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20 at 6:00 at the City Hall.
