Seminole Scenes Community Seminole Scenes by The Seminole Tribune - June 1, 2017August 20, 2019 This new sign is now at the Huff’s Old Camp in Brighton. The sign was donated by the STOF Preservation program about two years ago and recently was installed at the Huff’s Camp. In the picture is John W. Huff Sr. As a child, John lived there with his parents Frank and Mary and his siblings Stanley, Roy, Frank Jr., Agnes and Josephine. His uncle Billy Osceola started the first church in Brighton as well as the first arts/crafts shop and Frank’s Pool Hall. As measured by the number of people using recording devices, it is clearly pre-school graduation season around the reservations.
