About this Event

That Old Time Religion: Early Faith Communities of Rochester and Avon

Join Deborah Larsen as she looks at the faith communities that emerged in Avon Township (Rochester Hills) and its two villages, Rochester and Stoney Creek, from the time of the Graham settlement in 1817 until the eve of World War II. Learn which denominations came to Avon with settlers migrating from eastern states, and how the area's religious landscape shifted during its expansive population growth after the turn of the twentieth century.
