Summer Wrap up: 

The 4th of July Parade–50/50 Raffle to benefit the Three Lakes Historical Society & Museum was a great success! The Lions graciously invited us back for a fourth year! Thank you to all who supported us by buying your 50/50 tickets! The cash prize this year was again almost $4000 and was won by a local Three Lakes resident! A special thank you to all our enthusiastic ticket sellers who make this successful fundraiser possible!

Our Summer Concert Series kicked off on Tuesday June 23 and continued every Tuesday in Cy Williams Park thru August 4 when we finished up the series with the ever popular Bret & Frisk. 

Museum Farm Stand Featuring Penney “The Corn Lady” corn was again greeted by enthusiastic fans who lined up early to snag some of Penney's corn. It was great to see everyone enjoying the farm stand and the Museum gounds. Thank you to all who supported this fundraiser and it will be back by popular demand next summer! 

Immersion Excursions: An Out of Museum Experience! Here were the 2026 tours: Trees for tomorrow, Kimbell Creek, Oneida Village-History of the Corner, and the Black Forest-inside history tour. We are already planning next summers excursions. 

Pioneer Days at the Museum: A fun filled afternoon event as we traveled back in time to explore life in the northwoods. 

Historic Boat Tours on the Three Lakes Chain: The tour, from the Northernaire Bridge to the Blue Ribbon Bridge includes a narration on the history of many of the early families, their homes, and boathouses. We will publish 2027 dates in January. A $25 membership is requested. Not a member? Join Now! 

Johnson House Update: We are pleased to report that through the generosity of our members and friends, the support of the Town of Three Lakes, the Three Lakes Community Foundation, a generous local charity, and a preservation grant from the DAR, we have achieved our funding goals for Phase 1 & 2 and the restoration work is more than 50% finished. Stop by and see the progress! More information on funding and the project here.

Thank you to all our current & past members, donors, and supporters.

​Stay in touch as we plan more history-rich Three Lakes programs and exhibits for 2027!
