THE CHANCE OF A LIFE TIME!!!!!
LAKE COUNTY SCHOOL HISTORIES,
VOLUMES I & II

If you or any of your family went to school in Lake County, this is your opportunity to pass on your history to your children, grandchildren, and future generations. Over 500 people have collaborated with the Lake County Superintendent of Schools Joyce Decker Wegner and the Lake County Country School Historians to gather stories, photos, oral and written histories, and documents to write LAKE COUNTY SCHOOL HISTORIES, VOLUMES I & II.

Each volume will contain over two hundred large pages with numerous pictures never printed before. Volume I covers Ronan Pablo to the south, what was once Missoula County. Volume II covers from Polson to the north, what was Flathead County. You may see some Lake County’s Rural Schools on Polson’s website.

You may place your order now. Each volume sells for $25 apiece, or if you buy multiple copies, the price is reduced to $20 per book. You can pick up the books at the Superintendent of Schools office or we will ship your books for $3 per book. The County Superintendent is currently directing the final edits, in addition to her elected responsibilities, so the pace is slow, but please be patient as your preorder will assist the Flathead Reservation Area Historical Society with publication costs. We promise a wonderful historic work that will be a valuable resource for local history.

It is the goal of the Flathead Reservation Area Historical Society to assist all the residents of the Reservation in understanding their collective past in order for them to work together in achieving a better future in a neutral arena in which to present the facts in a fair and impartial manner.

The Society gathers and preserves historical data, i.e. printed documents, oral histories, photos etc., along with any artifacts or other objects which may be of historical significance; sponsors public history forums, publishes books, or other media pertinent to the Reservations history; and has developed a Flathead Reservation Timeline website. Whenever possible, these historical materials will be made available to the public through local schools, libraries, the Montana Heritage Project , and local museums like Miracle of America, Ninepipes Museum, and The People’s Center.
 

Membership fees, contributions and the sale of the publications generate the revenue to support the FRA Historical Society activities.  Anyone interested in Reservation history is invited to be a member.  Annual individual memberships are $25, annual business memberships are $100 and Charter Memberships are $1,000. Charter Membership revenues are placed in a Permanent Endowment, which will be used to pay for creating various kinds of Society publications.  This revolving fund will be replenished by sales of the publications.  Authorized persons and entities may take fifty cents of every dollar contributed to the Permanent Endowment as a credit against Montana Income Tax. Also, a charitable deduction may be taken for Federal Income Tax purposes for contributions to the Endowment.
