Osceola History is about to celebrate 75 years of preserving the rich heritage, culture, and history of Osceola County. Throughout October, Osceola History, is inviting the community to join them for a series of month-long exciting events, beginning with its Free Fall Kick-Off event on October 5th from 10 AM to 2 PM at the Osceola County Welcome Center and History Museum.
Attendees can enjoy kids’ activities that explore pioneer life, a Florida history movie screening, delicious food and beverages, and the always energetic Osceola Magic mascot Swish.
The event will also mark the opening of Osceola History’s new exhibit, “Picture This!” which highlights the evolution of the photography industry.
To continue preserving Osceola County’s amazing heritage through the needed financial support of the community, Osceola History will hold its “75 for 75” donation campaign. Contributions of $75 will be recognized with a plaque on a commemorative wreath displayed in the museum.
Established in 1949, Osceola History has accumulated thousands of artifacts, photographs, and historical documents, accessible for research and educational purposes. The Pioneer Village and the Welcome Center & History Museum offer daily tours, providing an immersive experience in Osceola’s past. The Pioneer Village charges an admission fee of $8 for adults and $4 for youth, while admission to the Welcome Center & History Museum is free.
