Description
Intended for members of MMRHS and FHRR, this list is open to anyone wishing to share Michigan railroad history.
It is "Open Forum" but, topics should be related in some way to railroads in and/or around the Mid-Michigan area (but nobody is going to get out a map and check what you define as the area).
The Mid-Michigan Railway Historical Society is an active Rail Preservation / Railfan / Model Railroad organization. MMRHS is a Not-For Profit Corporation. It is also a Michigan Charitable Trust, and has 501 (c)3 tax-exempt status.
MMRHS activities include; Fundraising events, "Railfanning" Field Trips to visit Railroad facilities and model railroads, Displaying and operating our modular HO layout, other model railroad work and operating sessions, Railfan slide / video / movie shows, and our Annual business meeting.
The "Friends of the Huckleberry Railroad" operate as a special interest subgroup within the MMRHS. "Friends" have certain additional benefits. In addition to their regular MMRHS dues, "Friends" pay an additional tax-deductible fee, which is used to support the HRR. Many "Friends" are also active volunteers at HRR, assisting with equipment restoration and special events like HRR Railfan Days.
