Lebanon Historical Society

Lebanon Historical Society The Lebanon Historical Society (LHS) was incorporated with the State Historical Society of Wisconsin in October of 1997.

The Lebanon Historical Society helps people connect to the past by collecting, preserving and sharing stories and artifacts about Lebanon, WI

The Center is open the 1st and 3rd Mondays of the month from 3pm-7pm. We’ve also been a branch of the Dodge County Historical Society since 1996. Our purpose is to recount local history, collect pictures, memorabilia and artifacts, and preserve as much of o

ur area’s past history as possible. We erected 10 historical markers which are on display in Lebanon. The historic Town Hall is the second oldest (1890) public building remaining in Lebanon, and is the home of the local museum. The Lebanon Historical Society is a 501c3 non profit organization and our mailing address is: PO Box 23, Lebanon, WI 53047-0023.

What an incredible historic find says google AI. Baseboard from Conway house on Poplar Grove Rd after their recent lightning strikes and subsequent fire. The stamp on the salvaged lumber reads "H. MARLOW & SON, LEBANON WIS.", which refers to a local family-owned general store or lumber business that operated in Lebanon, Dodge County, Wisconsin around the late 19th and early 20th centuries.This piece of lumber is a fascinating piece of local history, likely originating from a shipping crate, a lumberyard shipment, or the original building supply store itself.Who was H. Marlow?Historical records from Dodge County point directly to the family:The Family: A prominent German-immigrant family named Marlow settled in the Lebanon and Ixonia areas of Wisconsin during the mid-to-late 1800s.The Store & Business: In old community records and local obituaries, family members like H. Marlow and Charles Marlow are documented as active community figures. Charles Marlow was notably one of the original founders of the Universal Co-operative of Lebanon in 1914. Prior to the co-op era, family patriarchs often ran generalized mercantile stores or local lumber operations under names like "H. Marlow & Son" to supply early settlers building their homes.
