Greater West Bloomfield Historical Society & Museum

The Greater West Bloomfield Historical Society began as the Orchard Lake Scenic and Historical Society on January 28, 1974. At the first meeting in Abbot School’s Community Room, the Reverend Walter J. Ziemba, Rector of the St. Mary’s Schools, Orchard Lake, was elected president. In May 1978 the name was changed to the Greater West Bloomfield Historical Society to reflect the involvement of Orchard Lake, Keego Harbor, Sylvan Lake, West Bloomfield Township and surrounding communities.
