Small museum, but loaded with a wealth of information and items from Winter Parks past. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Located right next to the Farmers Market.

Nice displays of hotels of the past in Winter Park with the history on plaques telling of the pre-Disney lifestyle in Winter Park, which was popular for celebrities, singers, and other wealthy snowbirds.

Loved this place!! Rode the Sunrail from Longwood to Winter Park with my children and it was within walking distance of the station. It is packed with tons of historical items and information!! Had an amazing time and the woman running it was absolutely wonderful!!! A must see for anyone who enjoys local history!!

At the moment its free, they have tons of war memorabilia and great explanations of the items they have. Its one room, but worth it to go.

I visited for the exhibit dedicated to Winter Park’s perspective during World War II, and found there is a lot here for such a small museum. The exhibit space is interactive and immersive. Leaf through magazines of the day in the 40s living room while the radio plays music and news. Open a drawer and find a poignant telegram from the US Army. Quite an effective spin back in time, and gave me a sense of what it was like for my parents to live during those years.

Small museum, but there is a lot of interactive exhibits and its great for kids. The background is set up for the era as swing plays from a speaker

If you are in Winter Park, you should stop by and visit. Its a very small museum, but people there are very kind and, will explain you everything. I went to the World War II exhibition and liked it.

Took the Sun Rail up to Winter Park to see the museum. Checked closing time before going and in spite of that was closed at 3:15pm. Disappointing.
