Our mission is to preserve our local history and be an educational resource for the community. Mary’s Church at Lost Lake.
The Lost Lake Randolph Historical Society was formed in 2001 by concerned area residents seeking to preserve the old St. The church now houses a local history museum with a wide variety of exhibits, including extensive information on area one-room schools, cheese factory and farming history, military uniforms, many photos, and Randolph Fire Department history. Additional exhibits include a 10’ x
14’ model train set, antique clothing and hats, a vintage kitchen, and natural history items previously displayed at Nature Land. Our largest project to date was relocating the Lost Lake School to the museum grounds and restoring it to create an authentic one-room school exhibit. Each year we add more to our museum, pre- serving artifacts and sharing the knowledge of how our local community was shaped by peo- ple and events. Meetings are held at the historical society on the second Thursday of each month at 12:30 pm. The next meeting will be held on March 10, 2022 (there is a short break in the winter).

Unsure of what was going on a this photo, but looks very interesting! A play perhaps? I’m thinking the location was the opera house.

You can hear lots of planes in the area this week! ✈️🛩️
Did you know the largest experimental aviation event in the world is the EAA Fly-In at Oshkosh?
EAA Airventure Oshkosh 2023 happens July 24-30! The event started 70 years ago. The first one was held in September 1953 as a small part of the Milwaukee Air Pageant. The event then moved to Rockford Municipal Airport in 1959. In late 1969, the EAA board approved the move to Oshkosh.
EAA AirVenture Oskhosh attracts 10,000 airplanes each year and more than 500,000 aviation enthusiasts attend the annual event.
