Program areas at Osceola County Historical Society
Staff and presentation of two museums, open to the public where a) the evolution of the environment in the region and b) a day in the life during the early 1900's in rural Florida, can be explored. Exposure to the life and times in early Florida educates youth about a life before air conditioning and video games. Adults enjoy learning about the challenges faced by farmers and cattlemen trying to build an economy amid the swamps and with a free range lifestyle.
