Put-in-Bay Lake Erie Islands Historical Society
The mission of the Lake Erie Island Historical Society, located in downtown Put-in-Bay, is to preserve and educate our community and visitors to Put-in-Bay on the history of the Lake Erie Islands. Originally founded in 1975 as the Put-in-Bay Centennial Committee, the organization was renamed in 1985 when a dedicated group of Put-in-Bay residents came together to make their vision of an island museum a reality.
The original museum was opened at the site of the historical Put-in-Bay Bottling works building in 1987. A few years following in 1998, a new 6000 square foot main building was opened. Put-in-Bay's Lake Erie Islands Historical society welcomes all ages to explore and learn about the varied history of the beautiful islands of Lake Erie's Western Basin through the many displays. The museum provides a range of activities from children's programs to four Elderhostel weeks each year. The society also hosts tours, lectures and seasonal events. The museum on Put-in-Bay is open daily in the summer, weekends in the spring and fall and by appointment the remainder of the year.
The Perry Group
The Put-in-Bay Perry group is a non-profit 501(3)C organization that supports educational and cultural programs at Perry's Victory Monument located at Put-in-Bay. Among the events supported by the Perry Group are the Firelands Symphony and the Toledo Symphony orchestras performing annually at Put-in-Bay.
A new license plate with an image of the Perry Memorial and "Put-in-Bay" at the bottom is now available for Ohio vehicles though the Ohio BMV and the state's online ordering system at www.oplates.com. The Put-in-Bay license plate currently is the only special plate offered by Ohio that actually has a municipality's name on it. The new Put-in-Bay plates, which cost an additional $25, will help generate needed funds for the Perry Group, a non-profit 501(3)C organization that supports educational and cultural programs at Perry's Victory.
The Perry Group, also known as The Friends of Perry's Victory, was also instrumental in raising more than $125,000 to produce the free War of 1812/Battle of Lake Erie movie for visitors and to help defray the cost of some of the displays at the visitor center. The Put-in-Bay Perry Group has also helped sponsor several visits by the Brig Niagara during Historical Weekend at Put-in-Bay and helped organize the Historical Weekend event which includes an 1812 Living History Military encampment, the performance by the Toledo Symphony and Art in the Park. The Perry's Victory Visitor Center opened in late May of 2002 and had more than 204,000 visitors that year. Admission to the visitor center is free.
