History of The Lane House:
The Lane House stands on the site of the previous home of Frederick Lane. Frederick Lane arrived to Lummi Island in 1880, and was part of the third family to permanently settle on Lummi Island.
Lane wore many hats after he settled on this small island. He cared for a kerosene-burning navigation light on the tip of the spit. He also helped create school district #32 on the island and was the first school superintendent.
From 1887 to 1890 he was postmaster. After the official post office opened in 1892 he delivered mail between the island and Fairhaven in a small sailboat.
Frederick Lane also planted the famous Black Walnut tree that still stands proud today where North Nugent Road meets Blizard Road.
