The Lewis County Historical Society met on October 2nd and although there were not many in attendance, those who came enjoyed the meeting as we shared some things about our past and things we enjoyed doing.

There were some materials that had been given to the museum by the family of Patty Hedge and there were some amazing articles in it about the past happenings in Lewis County. Everyone seemed to enjoy looking at all the items in her collection and those who were new to Lewis County as well as others enjoyed it immensely.

Barbara Hinson also shared some of the little plastic cars her mother had purchased for her at the Ben Franklin store when she was a small child. They had turning wheels and axels and were in good shape. Many other items were available for viewing and checking out including a purse made by someone from scraps of leather, who worked at the shoe company that was here long ago.

The next meeting will be on November 6, 2023 at the Senior Citizen Center. We hope you will make plans to attend.
