Welcome to the Living History of Chassell, Michigan !!
This history was first compiled by Connie Julien for the opening day of the new Chassell Heritage Center during the annual Strawberry festival on July 9, 1993. You may view and read the History by Decades by clicking here, or you may view just the highlights of each decade in Chassell by clicking here on the Quick Summary of History. Chassell was named after John Chassell, click here to see more info on John Chassell.
The dates and history cited here were compiled from information found in the MTU archives, from conversations with Chassell residents and most of all a great deal of thanks goes to the authors of the various Chassell history stories including writings by Francis Jacker in the late 1800's, "The History of Chassell" by Kenneth Hamar, July 1976, the "History of Chassell" by Nicki Lassila, 19--, and the pictorial survey of Chassell Township by James L. Alain, 19--, and all the people who helped them compile their wonderful stories about the history of Chassell. When possible, exact wordings of previous Chassell historians were used in this document.
It is now time for us all to become Chassell Historians and help add more information to this living history of Chassell. There were a number of items which would have been included in this draft, but no dates have been found to place them in the correct time frame, so please let us know if you can help with other Chassell historical dates to make this history more complete and accurate.
If you see something that needs to be corrected, please let us know that also by clicking here on corrections. Since it is all entered on a computer file, it can easily be expanded and corrected, which is why we call it the Living History of Chassell.
So PLEASE let us know of any corrections or additions including their specific dates by contacting Connie Julien or Email webmaster
