We are looking for individuals or groups who would be interested in giving a talk on any subject that is related to the history of Indian Lake or the immediate area. The presentation only needs to be about 20 minutes in length. So bring your ideas and share them with our group. We generally have about 30+ people attend our general meeting that are held at Galilee Lutheran Church of the 4th Monday of each month April through September.
When you become a member of the Indian Lake Area Historical Society, you are supporting our efforts to preserve, protect, and share our rich heritage. Lifetime membership is now available for $300. Interested in volunteering? Complete those areas on the membership form and if you've already paid, please indicate that on the form.
If you have old pictures, newspaper articles, or stories about the history of the lake, we'd love to hear from you. We hope you enjoy looking through the pictures, new and old of Indian Lake.
