What a weekend!! The Winter Park History Museum had so much fun participating in Weekend of the Arts! 🎭🎶

Alongside 22 incredible arts and culture nonprofits, we celebrated creativity, community, and history through music, art projects, and an unforgettable atmosphere. The energy was amazing, and we loved connecting with so many art enthusiasts and friends!

A huge thank you to our sponsors, Edyth Bush Charitable Foundation, @adventhealth, and @winterparkfla, for making this event possible. We can’t wait to see this tradition grow!

Souvenirs are an essential part of Florida tourism. Since the late 19th century, souvenirs depicting Florida scenes have been purchased by travelers visiting the Sunshine State.

Author and collector Ken Breslauer will take you on a tour of Florida souvenirs, focusing on the 1930-1970 era before the opening of Walt Disney World.

From alligator bags to felt pennants, orange blossom perfume to kitschy flamingos, these souvenirs will bring back memories of Florida vacations before interstate highways and corporate theme parks. RSVP at museum@wphistory.org or call our office 407-647-2330. Hope to see you there!

This page from the 1977 Sears Christmas wish book was surely circled many times by young children. In so many Christmas movies, a toy train is running around a track underneath the tree on Christmas morning. Trains are still very popular with children, and having a toy train set of their own would be exciting. #wphistorymuseum #historicwinterpark #WPinspires ...

This page from the 1977 Sears Christmas wish book features Barbie dolls modeled after prominent pop culture figures at the time. Kids surely enjoyed playing with a Cher Barbie, or Wonder Woman, or the whole set of Donny and Marie’s television show! #wphistorymuseum #historicwinterpark #WPinspires ...

Aspiring astronauts in 1977 would surely have been excited to receive these space pens from the 1977 Sears Christmas wish list! These pens were advertised as being the same kind as the pens used by astronauts on the Apollo missions, part of the Apollo program which NASA conducted from 1961 to 1972. #wphistorymuseum #historicwinterpark #WPinspires ...

For anyone passionate about cooking in 1977, these tabletop appliances from the Sears Christmas wish book would have been great gift ideas! These prices are shockingly low compared to their 2024 equivalents, and the product designs are very ‘70s. #wphistorymuseum #WPinspires #historicwinterpark ...
