Historical Absurdities' Absurd Historical Society

Just trying my- uh, our best

About the Society

The Bruxville Historical Society was founded in 1851 to preserve, document, and interpret the history of the town of Bruxville. In 2001, the Bruxville Historical Society Website was put online to digitalize archival material for generations to come.

Our mission is to offer residents, non-residents, and anyone who is passionate about history an outlet to our unique town history. To schedule any hands-on archival appointments, please contact Ethan Howard at the Historical Society front office on 44 Old Downtown Ave, Bruxville USA.

Remembering Nancy Quinn

October 9, 1940 - January 11, 2026

With a heavy heart we recognize Nancy Quinn, A long time contributor to our humble historical society. Her life was tragically cut short at the age of 85 when she was caught in the brutal cross-fire of two rival polycules. Local authorities claim that 548 shots were fired between the two ethical, non-monogamous groups. Nancy was the only casualty. A candlelight vigil will be held at the community center. All are welcome.

Keep in Mind the Feral Wolf Population in Town

Because of recent national attention, we feel inclined to talk about this unique aspect of our small town. Visitors who do not do their research are always suprised when they encounter our packs of feral wolves roving the neighborhoods. It's common sense to the residents here to not carry any open containers or food while walking outside. In 1838, Mary Connors started a dog breeding buisness in hopes to bring in patrons around the state. She was very ambitious because this was her first attempt to breed dogs. Buisness did not go as planned considering that she was trying to start a new breed of half-wolf half-rottweiler. Ever since, the wolves have occupied Mary Connor's original house and have spread into the streets. We revere Mary Connors as a founding mother of our town and, in extension, revere the wolves as a key aspect of our small town culture. To answer a few questions:

Historical Society

Historical Marker Missing from our Old Downtown

Alright, now I'm fucking mad. Which one of you freak-shits did it? Do you know how painful it was to get funding for that thing? Oh, I'm so fucking pissed. Have you ever tried to receive a grant from the state government, you worthless bottom-feeder? That plaque was the only nice thing we had in this miserable town and someone out there decided to take it. The sidewalk is fucked too, you ripped the whole pole out of the concrete. Oh yeah, and thanks for leaving the pole, you dick. Thank God all is not lost! We have a bent pole! Trust me, I have a list of possible suspects. I'm not going to air it all out on the Historical Society website, but the entire high school class of 2026 is on it. I still remember what you fuckers did to the cannon last year. Do you know how hard it is to clean creek-muck from a 12-pounder cannon? Mark my words, and as God as my witness, I will make next week's craft fair miserable for anyone who crosses me.

Just a Heads Up

I've been getting some flak about my recent article about the history of the Klu Klux Klan in town. I promise I'm not trying to "ruin our image" (that's directed toward you Mrs. Howard) I literally just found some newspaper snippets on microfilm and had some time to kill. It's more embarrassing that these documents are easily accessible and the Historical Society hasn't released anything on it since this online format was set up 25 years ago. The town over has a whole page dedicated to their historical Klan presence and references a "Bruxville branch" 11 times. I swear I am not making this up. Why our newspaper archive has none of the publications that talk about the KKK is beyond me considering that we have every other newspaper in file. And yes, I'm starting to connect the dots between this fiasco and the old burn barrel behind our building. Stop calling me "woke." And to dispel any rumors going around about me: I'm not Irish, I'm not Catholic, and I'm not Jewish.
