Lake George has had a Community Church for a very long time. My first recollection , about 1941, was at a time when the services were held in the Community Building.
The Borst Family, who had donated the Land for the School on the Hill, later donated that building to the Community Church. The Borst Family was among the first settlers. They were involved in the later part of the lumbering era and into the beginning of the resort era. Oh yes, some of the family are still here.
There are some other local sites that may be of help to you, just click on the name:
Lincoln Township Offices in Lake George. This building was built in the early 1930's as part of the THEN work projects: A previous stimulus package! Will have more on the history of this building and the park.
A view of Lake George in about 1915. This building was located on the south side of the tracks and some 150 feet east. This was the depot at that time. Notice the 'train'. The Kress Family lived there at the time. They were among the early settlers in this area. More on that family later. The Howard Family lived in this Railroad House in later years after the then new Depot was built.
