Promoting a broader appreciation of the present through a deeper understanding of our past.
The mission of the Lewis County Historical Society is to preserve, present and promote the stories, creations and history of Lewis County NY and its environs – including those of the Tug Hill plateau, the Black River valley and the western Adirondacks – and to use our collections, programming and partnerships to be the North Country’s preeminent institution for historic preservation, local history education and heritage tourism.
