History
A top priority of the BHPS is the preservation of historic artifacts and information associated with Bayside. The community room in Bayside’s Community Hall, the Shady Grove Museum, and this website serve as the primary locations for storing and displaying BHPS collections once they are cataloged. We invite you to visit Shady Grove, our cottage museum, during the summer months and to explore the many resources currently available on the website year-round.
