HEAR YE! HEAR YE! WE'RE COMING SOON TO DOWNTOWN LISBON!!!

    After being in the Lisbon Public Library basement since 1964, it's time for the Lisbon Area Historical Society's museum to see the light of day and be more visible. Parker Block property owner Peter Loescher has offered the Society the former North Country Bookkeeping Services office - just one store down from the American Flag Store in the center of Lisbon village - to use until we can within the next couple years find a suitable permanent home for our collection of items from Lisbon, Lyman, and Landaff. 

    We hope to start unpacking some of our collection and properly displaying it for everyone's enjoyment in our new Parker Block space sometime in May. (The Society will continue to house many larger items in our dedicated space in our Pickwick-Clough Room in the Library.) Watch for our new Lisbon Area Historical Society sign to appear on our storefront soon! 

   With a visible presence on Main Street, the Society, a 501(c) 3 nonprofit charity, plans to launch a membership and fundraising drive to further promote our mission to preserve and share our history. For more information, to help with the move, or to join us and help us preserve history, please contact Andrea M. Fitzgerald at 838-6146 or andreamfitz@hotmail.com.
