The Les Cheneaux Legacy Society (LCLS) was created to honor and thank our friends who have included our Museums and the Historical Association in their estate or giving plans by naming the Museums as a beneficiary to wills, living trusts, IRAs, and other methods of planned gifts.

For more nearly 60 years, the Les Cheneaux Historical Association has given thousands of annual visitors a glimpse at the traditions and heritage of the Eastern Upper Peninsula’s peoples and relationship with the water.

Committed supporters of the Museums have shown their support in striving to provide the resources needed to conserve and enhance the collections, exhibitions, and educational programming available at our Museums.

The Historical Association has been fortunate to receive financial legacies in the form of bequests and estate gifts from many generous donors. These donors establish future gifts through bequests and trusts, charitable gift annuities, life insurance gifts, and other planned giving methods. Giving techniques such as these are a way of planning for the future of our Museums along with your own.
