                                                    A LITTLE ABOUT US
The Clear Lake Historical Association was formed in 1987 by citizens interested in retaining the unique
history of our area.  We now have a wonderful collection of old photos and are always looking for more.  
Please contact our historian, Deanna Ammons, if you have photos or memories of early Clear Lake that
you would like to share.

After being settled by farm folk in the late 1800's, with the advent of the railroad the area grew into a
bustling community.  Logging and the manufacture of finished lumber soon took over as the major industry.

Although the railroad and lumber mill are long gone, many memories remain.  Keeping these memories
alive is but one of the endeavors of the Historical Association.  The Association now owns and maintains
the former I.O.O.F. Hall, one of the first buildings built in town around 1892 and was a saloon up until it was
purchased by the I.O.O.F. in 1910.  The Association is always looking for people interested in becoming
members of the organization.  The Association meets quarterly on the fourth Tuesday of the month.

Our next scheduled meeting will be held at the I.O.O.F. Hall Tuesday, April 22, 2008 at 7:00 p.m.  For
