The historic Lyon schoolhouse is located northeast of Brighton. Richard Lyon and his family came to the area in the 1830s. A log cabin school was built on his property to educate the local children. A new school was built in 1885 and it is the one that still stands today. It was used as a school until the 1940s then it was used as a township hall until 1984. Now it is a museum for the Brighton Area Historical Society.
