The Museum at Lassen's Resort is closed today in observance of Memorial Day. We hope you have enjoyed your weekend and are now pausing to remember the purpose of this annual day of remembrance.

As we announced at our May 7th Season Opening Celebration, in addition to the rotating exhibit room display at the museum this season, we are going to celebrate America’s 250th in another way this year as well.

Heroes Gallery Wall of Honor

During Summerfest Sunday afternoon, we will debut our new Captain Andrew W. Laud Heroes Gallery Wall of Honor. Captain Laud's family has provided the lead gift to develop this exhibit. This permanent display will be installed to recognize the men and women who have served to provide the freedoms that we enjoy today.

If you would like YOUR hero included on this Wall of Honor so that we can honor him or her as our hero too, please complete the application by June 7, 2026. A minimum $75 donation must be made with the application. Applications will also be accepted in person at the museum during normal operating hours if you would like to pay with cash or check. Please contact us with any questions.

Note: Any applications received after June 7, 2026, will be added to the Wall of Honor during our second printing later this summer.

Every year, March is designated Women’s History Month by Presidential proclamation. The month is set aside to honor women’s contributions in American history.
Every Wednesday this March, we are sharing our History Road Show video recordings about influential women in the Cedar Lake community. We will begin this week by honoring Beatrice Horner, our founding historian. She is the woman we credit for leading the effort to preserve Cedar Lake's history, saving "Old Lassen's Hotel" from demolition, and giving it new life as a local history center. At The Museum at Lassen's Resort, we like to say "Dream Big and 'Bea' Determined" ... here's why:
