This year, Alpine Township is celebrating 175th Anniversary. Alpine Township was established in 1847 when the Michigan legislature divided Alpine from Walker Township, as the population grew.
We are looking for photos & information to share with rhe public during this anniversary celebration. We are looking for 4-H club photos. For example, there was a 4-H horse club that used to show on Vinton Ave, between 7 & 8 Mile Roads. If you have any, please call Alpine Township at 616-784-1262, leave your name & number. We will call you & set up a time to scan photos & copy information. Thank you.
