Lakewood Public Library

The materials in the Library's local history files illuminate many corners of Lakewood's past. It is an ongoing project at the Lakewood Public Library to post electronic versions of the information found in these files. This collection of pamphlets, newspaper articles, first-person accounts, local legends and photographs is also available in paper form at the library.
