Historical Commission
Harrison Township was formed in 1827 and became a charter township government November 13, 1978. There have been several attempts to establish a port city on the shores of Lake Saint Clair.

The Historical Commission meets the third Wednesday of each month in the Old Township Hall at 7:00 PM. The commission's current projects include the restoration of the old Town Hall and the collection of old photographs and memorabilia. If you have a photo or two or more that you think belong in the historical collection, call Linda Karczewski at 463-1754. You can also like us on Facebook here.
Historical commissioner, Beverly Tromley, provided this picture of her grandfather, Ira Fuller. He drove the bus that took the soldiers from Selfridge to and from Mount Clemens so they could enjoy their free time.
