About Isle La Motte Historical Society

The Isle La Motte Historical Society works from a campus of three buildings about five miles from the island bridge on Main Street near Quarry Road. The campus includes a stone schoolhouse museum, a blacksmith shop from the early 1890s, and a cabin. The society collects local memories and items about quarry work, schooling, and summer visits, and it seeks volunteers for docent, archive, and maintenance roles.
