SPEAKER BOBBIE MATHIS, CEMETERY PRESERVATIONIST, AT BELLEMONT MANOR JANUARY 17

The Albion Historical Society's speaker series continues in January when the first speaker of 2026 will be cemetery preservationist Bobbie Mathis. Her talk will be held at the Bellemont Manor on Saturday, January 17, at 1 pm.

Bobbie Mathis is a dedicated cemetery preservationist whose work combines historical research, hands-on restoration, and deep respect for sacred spaces. With years of experience in the care and conservation of historic burial grounds, Bobbie focuses on cleaning, repairing, and documenting gravestones to ensure that the stories they hold are not lost to time. Her preservation work emphasizes ethical methods, historical accuracy, and community education—helping others understand the importance of maintaining these fragile connections to our past.

The presentation is free and open to the public. Bellemont Manor is located at 906 Haven Rd., Albion, on the south side of Haven Road just east of South Hannah Street in Albion.

How to Contact Us While We Are Building Our New Web Site...

The Albion Historical Society is currently building a new website.  The current one has been around for ten years already, which means it is from the dark ages.  In fact, due to its age, the "Contact Us" link had to be removed.  In the interim, please know that you may still reach us at info(insert the "at" sign)albionhistoricalsociety.org.  We hope to have the new site in operation by late spring.
