The History of Lincoln
The town of Peach flourished on the banks of the Columbia River below this site for around fifty years. The town was flooded when Lake Roosevelt was filled in 1939. At that time a sawmill was established here at the new town of Lincoln which operated for over 40 years. After it closed in the early 1980s, the area became dormant but has slowly rebuilt into the community which you see today.
More than 50 cemeteries that fell within the Grand Coulee Dam/Lake Roosevelt footprint were moved to higher ground. The Peach Cemetery is now located a few blocks from this location, down the hill on the left. The earliest headstone at this cemetery is 1892 and the last is 1953. It serves as a tribute to the pioneers who settled this area.
Congrats to CleElem on being FTF!!
