LTHS Receives Grant from the Great Lakes Energy People Fund

The Lovells Township Historical Society has been awarded a $6,000 grant from the Great Lakes Energy People Fund. These funds will make it possible for us to replace the windows in the Lone Pine Schoolhouse Museum, originally built in 1907 by Gustav Ernst and James Kellogg. Besides housing important exhibits about our local history, the Lonepine Schoolhouse is itself an important piece of Lovells' history and its donation in 1991 by Rudolph Pallone was part of the genesis of our Historical Society. The new windows will by custom made by Eikenhout Inc. in Gaylord and we hope to install them in September.. The windows are important to help maintain the structural integrity of this historic building and they will help protect our collection from insects and the elements.
