Overview
Exhibits at the Lake County History Center may occupy an entire exhibit room or be small enough to fill just a wall display. They are created, designed and installed to present Lake County stories using the strongest elements of the collection of the Lake County Historical Society, enhanced by research and material from the archives of the Lake County Historical Society. Items on loan from the community are used to enhance exhibits.
