Our goal is to preserve Lincoln County history for future generations.

Our society was organized in 1940 by 25 people representing 8 townships with Frank Cooper as president; Glenn Sheppard as vice-president; Thelma McMullen as secretary; and Floyd Sowers as treasurer. Dues of 25 cents were charged and 300 people gathered at the first general meeting. Many were old settlers living in Lincoln County more than 50 years. Nice displays from this beginning are in the Lincoln courthouse today.

83 years later the society is still active and oversees all LCHS properties. The society holds historically informative events throughout the year and is activity involved in the community and Lincoln County.
