New Brighton Area Historical Society

The New Brighton Area Historical Society (NBAHS) was founded in 1980 in New Brighton, Minnesota. The Society logo at the left shows, top, clockwise, the Exchange Hotel in 1891, built to accommodate the cattlemen coming to the stockyards;  the Bulwer Junction Depot, now the New Brighton History Center; the stockyards at the turn of the century; and the railroad, all of which helped put New Brighton on the map.

The New Brighton History Center is located in Long Lake Regional Park, north of the old downtown area in New Brighton on old Highway 8.  Our address there is 700 Park Drive, New Brighton, MN 55112. Our mailing address is PO Box 120624, New Brighton, MN 55112.
