Brownhelm Historical Association

The Brownhelm Historical Association (aka BHA) was formed in March 1993 as an organization dedicated to preserving the rich history of the people, places and events of the area. In the past 20 years the BHA has managed to reclaim and restore the Lost Cemetery on Lake Rd. in Vermilion, now known as Brown's Lake Road Cemetery after Brownhelm's founder, Col. Henry Brown. The lovely German Reformed Church was given to the group by its last four members and is now the Brownhelm Heritage Museum. The current mission is the restoration of the brick Brownhelm School on North Ridge Rd.
