PRESERVING HISTORY
Preserve Lawson Landmarks’ mission is to preserve the original late-1800 and early 1900 structures built by Victor and Jessie Lawson for their farm and estate in Green Lake. Preserve Lawson Landmarks identifies projects within the historic grounds that are of importance to the community and its supporters. Preservation of these landmarks is achieved through both financial support and volunteer services to the Green Lake Conference Center.
OUR STORY
Between 1888 and 1925, Jessie and her husband Victor Lawson bought and transformed their Lone Tree farm property on the north shore of Green Lake into a grand and unique family estate. The area’s scenic vistas and walking paths along with its historic bridges and buildings continue to be an inviting natural sanctuary to Green Lake area residents and visitors.
Unfortunately today, many of the original Lawson-era structures that dot this beautiful landscape have fallen in disrepair and are in desperate need of improvement before they are lost forever. Preserve Lawson Landmark’s is a grass-roots community-focused campaign dedicated to preserving these structures for generations to come.
