The Bay View Historical Society, established in 1879, is dedicated to maintaining the bay View community through conserving, celebrating and sharing Bay View's rich heritage. With more than 500 members, it is one of the largest local historical societies in the area. The Society maintains its headquarters at one of most prominent historical sites in Bay View, the Beulah Brinton House. Built in 1872, it is considered to be among the best remaining Gothic Revival residences in the city and was formerly home to Beulah Brinton, a community leader who turned her own house into an informal social center (the first in the United States) and Bay View's first lending library. The Society also designates landmarks throughout Bay View and publishes a newsletter, The Historian, which contains articles of local historical interest. During the year, the society conducts general membership meetings, historic Walks and other social events. membership is open to anyone interested in supporting the Society's programs
