The Winter Park Historical Association seeks to collect, promote, preserve, and research the history of Winter Park and its surrounding area, and to share said history with the public through educational programs, events, and the operation of the Winter Park History Museum.
The Association fulfills this mission by providing the Winter Park community with an engaging museum staffed and open without charge, five days a week. The WPHM also provides a Speaker Series, community outreach programs such as the “Hands on History” event at the Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival, and an oral histories podcast: A Stroll Down Park Avenue.
