The Collection  

 We have developed several permanent displays including our award winning pioneer life display with a 12' high mural depicting life at the lake in the 1920's.

Other permanent displays include a store, post office, mine shaft and logging display. We have three temporary displays which we use to tell the story of our local communities, organizations and people. 

    Also on site is a 1925 school house. It has been renovated and is used as a meeting room and  for archival storage. It also contains a 1940's era classroom display. 

    Our rail display consists of a number  pieces of  rolling stock representative of the rail service in and around the Lake when the railroads ran here.  This includes:
