The Lake Scugog Historical Society were the original founders of the Scugog Shores Museum Village and Archives in 1971. Created as means to find a home for the material and archival history of the Township of Scugog. The organization continues to support the SSM through donations but since 2006 have turned their attention to hosting informative Speaker Series, historic walks, publishing The Archivist newsletter for members and the general public, and digitizing the local newspapers from 1851 to 2021. The long term goals of the LSHS are to improve the signage and care of our pioneer cemeteries, to assist with the preservation of historical buildings, sites and plaques/monuments and to offer free and easy access to the historical records and publications about the community and its people.
