About Lakewood Historical Society
The Lakewood Historical Society was founded in October 2, 1998 by a small group of local citizens who had a joint interest in saving the history of Lakewood. Officers were elected and committees were formed and by the end of the first year there were over 60 members. Programs were presented by local contacts and fund raising events were planned. Their first major project was to place markers at the historic sites in Lakewood. This was an especially important because many buildings and sites had already been moved or demolished and their significance had been lost. The Society's current membership is over 350.

Fellow Historians:
I have just been notified of my appointment to the Lakewood Landmarks and Heritage Advisory Board and wanted to share my enthusiasm with the Historical Society! As a relatively new resident I have a lot to learn about my adopted community. Naturally— for me at least— I turn to those who know it best: you. I look forward to dropping by the museum Saturday to get acquainted and explore ways we may be mutually supportive in service to our own patch of history, Lakewood. See you tomorrow!
Bill
