This description of historic downtown Winter Garden during the 1980s is difficult to believe when compared to the vibrant downtown of today.On any given day or night, stroll along Plant Street and you’ll see diners lingering at outdoor tables, musical ensembles performing at the outdoor gazebo, bikers, joggers, and pedestrians traveling the West Orange Trail, and children playing around the fountain while parents gather to talk nearby. It’s a testament to what a community can do when it pulls together.
Our mission is to “preserve our heritage and architecture while creating new cultural experiences.” Since its establishment, the Winter Garden Heritage Foundation has fulfilled its mission through research, the protection of historic structures and artifacts, educational opportunities and exhibitions, and cultural festivals, for the benefit of residents, visitors, and future generations.
