Lyman Landmark~~~~~~~CDP Theme Day~~~Nov. 1st

The Minkler Mansion is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.  The Mansion is located approximately one-half mile from the North Cascades Scenic Highway in the Town of Lyman, Skagit County, Washington State.  The Mansion is within view of the Skagit River, on a segment of the Skagit listed under the U.S. Wild and Scenic Rivers Act.  Even though the area is on the Skagit River the Minkler Mansion has never been flooded in it's 120 year existence.
Birdsey Minkler built this home for his large and still growing family.  He and his wife had 8 children.
The population of Lyman today is around 450 persons.  
The Mansion is now Lyman City Hall and certainly a Landmark in the area
