History
The Lewiston post office first opened on April 25, 1892. The Lewiston Area Historical Society Museum is in an 1892 original Lewiston home. It was first owned by David Kneeland, who was the manager of the Michelson & Hanson Lumber Company; his family lived in Lewiston from 1892 to 1910. When the mill closed, Kneeland sold the dwelling to George and Martha Sachs, who then expanded some of the town's boundaries, defining what they are today. Lewiston is also known as Timber Town.
