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.
Click here to view on our Facebook page.
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.
We really need people to show up! You won't need to talk, if you don't want to. just please come and show your support!
We have a Facebook page! Come visit us, ask questions, or post information. The site is run by Kim Weaver one of
our newest additions as a researcher and digital copier. Stop by and say hi to Kim.
