✨ Exciting News for Lake Wales! ✨
The Lake Wales History Museum is honored to announce that we have been awarded a grant from Mountain Lake Community Service to transform our historic Freight Room into a vibrant and flexible space for events and educational programs.
This funding will directly support free and low cost programs for the community, including hands on activities for kids, cultural events, and educational workshops. Our goal is to create more accessible opportunities for learning, connection, and celebration right here in Lake Wales.
We are incredibly grateful to Mountain Lake Community Service for their continued support and belief in our mission to preserve and share the stories of Lake Wales.
Stay tuned for exciting updates as we bring this vision to life.
