The Lincoln County Historical Society would like your stories to create a collection from county residents related to daily life in the Lincoln County area during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This collection will help future generations of Lincoln County residents understand this unique moment in time and the common and shared experiences of the people who endured this historic event.
The Lincoln County Historical Society is asking residents to send video and audio recordings of their COVID-19 experiences via email the Lincoln County Historical Society at lincolncountyhs@sbcglobal.net. Residents are asked to include their name, Lincoln County city and age (optional).
By submitting stories, residents are granting the Lincoln County Historical Society permission to use their stories in future exhibits or publications.
The Lincoln County Historical Society and Museum of Pioneer History is a 501 C-3 nonprofit organization that records and exhibits the history of Lincoln County and its people.
The Lincoln County Historical Society and the Museum of Pioneer History is housed in three buildings that are listed on the National Register of Historical Places, two of which are more than 100 years old.
Our biggest need at this time is roof repairs with a fundraising goal of $40,000. Donations can be mailed to the Lincoln County Historical Society at 719 Manvel Avenue Chandler, OK 74834 or through paypal on the LCHS website at www. okpioneermuseum.org. Checks should be made payable to LCHS.
The Museum of Pioneer History plans to reopen to the public on June 3. The museum is open Wednesday-Saturday 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
The Indian Taco luncheon scheduled for June has been rescheduled to July 1.
The Lincoln County Historical Society and Museum of Pioneer History appreciates the support of Lincoln County residents during this time.
