Originally founded as the Put-in-Bay Centennial Committee, this organization was renamed the Lake Erie Islands Historical Society in 1985 when a group of dedicated island residents formed to make their vision of an island museum a reality. The first museum was opened at the historical Put-in-Bay Bottling Works building in 1987. A new 6,000 square foot main building was opened in 1998.Plan to visit Lake Erie Islands Historical Society and other customer-reviewed, writer-recommended Put in Bay attractions using our Put in Bay trip planner.
