Welcome to the
Lake Wales History Museum
We provide educational opportunities that connect all ages to local history, and we are the repository of almost 20,000 objects, documents, photos, textiles, and books about Lake Wales.
It's Giving Tuesday!
In this time of uncertainty, there’s a fundamental truth that gives us hope – that together we can do extraordinary things. Join us today, on #GivingTuesday and let’s rally to collect, preserve, and share Lake Wales History! Will you please give to the museum today?
