DISCOVER HISTORY ONLINE

While the Lake Wales History Museum is closed until further notice, there are two great virtual offerings, and online videos of behind the scenes activities, curious items from the collection, historic locations around Lake Wales, and a virtual tour of our new exhibit, "Infamy: December 6, 1941," coming to the museum this week.

Our museum team is brainstorming how to bring the museum to you, so stay tuned to the museum's social media and website.

We appreciate your understanding during this time in our history, and look forward to seeing you all in the future.
