The Mission of the Les Cheneaux Historical Association is to promote awareness of the historical significance of the Les Cheneaux Islands Area & to preserve its rich traditions & maritime heritage. It is comprised of two buildings, one a log cabin, donated by Nancy Avery Follansbee, depicting the early days of settlement in the area when lumbering was an important industry. Along with the lumberin

g, was the wonderful fishing, creating the early tourist industry for the many thriving hotels in the area. Of course the women also kept very busy with quilting, weaving, and other activities. Reif Boathouse (circa 1920s) is home to displays of vintage boats, marine artifacts, antique outboard motors, historic photos of area boating, a boat building workshop, and a gift shop.
