Bordentown Military Institute

Alumni Association

 

Welcome to the Bordentown Military Institute Alumni Association site.  If you are a former cadet, please Contact Us either by e-mail or postal mail.  We would like to add you to our directory.  Please explore our site and see the activities of our Association.

 

Founded in 1881, the Bordentown Military Institute operated as an independent military school in Bordentown, New Jersey, for 91 years.  In 1972, it merged with the Lenox School in Lenox, Massachusetts.  Bordentown/Lenox was in existence for only one year, however, closing its doors completely in June 1973.

In the late 1980s, the inactive BMI Alumni Association re-formed and began scheduling biennial reunions.  Since then, the Association has grown in numbers and scope, thanks to a dedicated alumni board and extremely valuable volunteers.  Word-of-mouth connections and the Internet have also contributed to its resurgence, as have numerous people who have stumbled on the Web site and have been “found.”  Although the formal entity that was once BMI has gone, its spirit is very much alive.

Presidents Message

 

Greetings, Fellow Cadets -

 

This Spring our BMI statue will be power washed along with our pavers. We are looking into getting a banner with a brief history of BMI to be placed near the statue.  For safety reasons, we are considering the placement of a wrought iron railing on the statue steps.  The entire statue area with the benches will create a beautiful area for all of us to sit and reminisce about our BMI days.  Hope you are all in good health.

Take care,

 

President  JC Platt
