We’re building a home for the stories, images, and voices of Lake Buel and Laurel Banks — old snapshots, home movies, and the recollections of those who have known the lake longest, collected and shared.

It’s just getting started. If you have something to contribute — a photograph, a film, or a memory — or you’d simply like to be part of it, write to Buel.History@gmail.com.
