During the 2005 - 2006 school year, the Fourth and Fifth Grade students at Bridlemile Elementary School(BES) investigated the history of Bridlemile and surrounding neighborhoods. The students interviewed longtime Bridlemile residents about the history of the neighborhood and what it was like to live and grow up here back then.

Interviews and Biographies

The history committee conducts interviews about and with residents, past and present, in order to develop a record of our neighborhood.

Thank you to everyone who has generously shared their time and stories.
