overview : The AIHS was chartered in 1975 by a small group of Island residents whose vision and foresightedness was exemplary of the community spirit which is a tradition on Anderson Island. A lifestyle familiar to native Islanders was rapidly disappearing. - The site of Society activities is the landmark Johnson Farm, seven acres of which were a gift from Alma Ruth Laing, the last direct descendant of Island pioneers, John Oscar Johnson and his wife, Alma Marie. The Johnsons were Finnish immigrants who came to Anderson Island before the turn of the century.
