About the Lewiston Area Historical Soc
The Lewiston Area Historical Society, located at 4384 Michelson Avenue in Lewiston, Michigan, was founded in 1975 with the mission to preserve, educate, and inspire. The society maintains the Lewiston Area Museum and CCC Camp Lunden, offering educational programs about the history of the community. Plans are underway to construct additional buildings, including a replica of an early bank, a schoolhouse, and a saloon. Volunteers and donations are welcome to support these efforts.
To reach a wider audience, the society is creating a virtual tour of the museum. The goal is to ensure that residents and visitors alike have a connection to the past of the Lewiston area. Through initiatives and partnerships with local businesses, the society is dedicated to sharing the rich history of Lewiston with the community.
Proud members of the Lewiston Chamber of Commerce and the Historical Society of Michigan, the Lewiston Area Historical Society relies on donations to maintain its operations. Visitors are encouraged to sign up and stay connected to learn more about the fascinating history of Lewiston.
Reviews of Lewiston Area Historical Soc
"The Lewiston Historical Society opens this lumber baron home on weekends and appointment. When I was a teenager, our family owned the home next door as a vacation home. Our house was built in 1890 by Otis Kneeland, brother of David Kneeland who ran the lumber operation in Lewiston. We knew the Sachs family who owned David Kneeland's home, which is now the museum. Our vacation home was eventually sold, and Mrs. Sachs used to store her antiques there. But subsequently it was torn down. I met with Lewiston historians Roberta Hannah, Herman Lunden Miller and Arleta Klein, who knew my great-great uncle Elmer Thompson. My grandmother inherited the vacation home when he passed away around 1956. I remember seeing some of our stuff still in the museum, particularly an old croquet set we had in the shed. Great memories and I'm glad that this house was preserved. I understand this one (and ours) was one of only three houses that survived the fires that burned the town down several times. This one now is the only one left, and it is a reminder of what life was like during the lumbering days."
