The 2024 Big Lake Historical Society Biennial Exhibit will be held at the Big Lake Fire Department’s community room. This event is Saturday, August 10th, from 10:00 AM-5:00 PM and Sunday, August 11th, from 10:00 AM-3:00 PM. The exhibit's theme is, “community”. Historical photos and artifacts will be displayed, local community historians will be available to answer questions and share stories. Our newest exhibit is the inclusion of the Lake Cavanaugh community. In the afternoons there will be guided walking tours of old town Big Lake and the Day Lumber Company Mill site. Entry to the display is free, but donations are always appreciated, also Big Lake Valley books will be available for purchase as well as the new 2025 BLHS Calendar. Coffee and cookies will be offered as well as opportunities to sit and visit with friends and neighbors in this room with a view and comfortable setting. Please join us as we share the history of the nine communities that make up the Big Lake Valley—Baker Heights, Big Rock, Walker Valley, Montborne, Big Lake, Ehrlich, Finn Settlement, Lake Cavanaugh, and Lake McMurray. See you there.
