LCPP is committed to educating and assisting the community in the preservation and promotion of the history, architecture, and economic prosperity of Lawrence County. Per founding member and past President Joseph Goodge, "the objectives of LCPP include preserving historic landmarks and architecture, promoting the economic value and importance of Lawrence County’s history, enhancing and improving the image of the county, and recognizing individuals, businesses and municipalities for their efforts to preserve the history, architecture and character of the county."

INTRODUCING LCPP's:
Tool Lending Library
Fall / Winter 2025
Together, we can build an opportunity for our community to connect, share, and create! In addition to our Resource Libray and Workshops, the Tool Lending Library — will be a place where neighbors can borrow tools, learn new skills, and support one another in fixing, building, and growing.
We’re looking for volunteers to help us:
-
Organize and catalog donated tools
-
Assist with simple tool repairs and maintenance
-
Help design and set up the lending space
-
Spread the word and assist with community outreach
-
Create signage, social media posts, and educational materials
Whether you’re handy with tools, love organizing, or simply want to help build something meaningful for our community — there’s a place for you here.
“A tool lending library strengthens community connections by giving everyone access to equipment they might not otherwise afford, encouraging collaboration and shared learning. It also promotes sustainability by reducing waste and duplication—allowing tools to be reused rather than sitting unused in private garages or sheds.”
