The Hubbardston Area Historical Society is a non-profit organization located in Hubbardston, Michigan.

The museum houses a wide variety of objects, including photographs, documents, agricultural tools, household items, and clothing. Visitors can explore exhibits that showcase the history of the town's founding and its development over time. The museum also features a research library with books, maps, and other resources for those interested in conducting genealogical or historical research.

In addition to the museum, the Hubbardston Area Historical Society hosts a variety of events throughout the year, including lectures, historical reenactments, and community gatherings. These events provide opportunities for local residents and visitors to learn more about the history of Hubbardston and the surrounding area.

Turtles In the Grand River at Portland, September of 2014.
The crow that eats breakfast sandwiches Sitting in the middle of the street was what looked like a fast food bag. The crow lands, investigates, then proceeds to grip the bottom of the bag with his beak and tip it upside down. What looks like two bright yellow wrapped shapes slide onto the street where he grips one edge to unwrap it, push off the top (shown here), take the filling (cheese square on a sausage patty?) and fly a short distance away to find out if the filling is to his taste. A gust of wind blows the wrappers and bag away, leaving only the discarded top for the photo. Press L for lightbox (large) view; click the image or press Z for full image display.

Lettering, names, and weathering all point to the 1970s How different the economy, cost of living, and daily preoccupations and aspirations then versus now. Seeing this time traveler from a business long gone hearkens back to world and local events from about 50 years ago. The street name is Railroad Street, but the last passenger service ended in the early 1970s and the final freight train was later in the 1980s. By the early 2000s the rail-trail conversion was well underway on the CIS (Clinton, Ionia, Shiawassee) east-west route for joggers, walkers, and bicyclists (skiers in winter). But the street name lives on to remind people of those earlier times. Press L for lightbox (large) view; click the image or press Z for full image display.
