LHS launches new historical awareness campaign
In conjunction with the release of "Legendary Locals of Lakewood," the new book by Steve Dunkelberger and Walter Neary, authors of "Images of America: Lakewood", LHS is doing its part to better acquaint our friends and members with some of the remarkable characters who shaped the history of our fair city.
