[edit] History

In 2000, the Orange County Historical Society changed its name to the Historical Society of Central Florida because its collections and holdings included material from surrounding counties. The new name more accurately reflected the focus of the society.

[edit] Mission

Honor the past, explore the present to shape the future.
