Business History Index
- Whether your business is/was a traditional brick-and-mortar one, or
you operate(d) from your home, SLAHS wants to document your business
history. In each Directory section, the history of a particular business
(if the business has submitted their historical information) can be
found by further clicking on a hyperlink to a separate SLAHS.org web page.
The intent of these business web pages is to document the Sussex-Lisbon area
local business history, and to promote business and historical society
cooperation and awareness.

Enya and Loreena McKennitt create and sing songs of folk-like nature. As Editor,
