About the event

The Stories Behind the Milestones & Memories


Join the Winter Garden Heritage Foundation for a special Lunch & Learn inspired by our current museum exhibit,

Winter Garden 118: The Milestones & Memories That Made Us.


Winter Garden has changed tremendously since its incorporation 118 years ago, but its story lives on through the people, places and objects that shaped our community.


Led by Will McCoy, Museum Director of the Winter Garden Heritage Foundation, this presentation will take guests behind the exhibit and explore a selection of the 118 artifacts representing more than a century of Winter Garden history. Hear the stories behind memorable objects, important milestones, local traditions and defining moments that helped make Winter Garden the city we know today.


Whether you've already visited the exhibit or you're discovering it for the first time, this Lunch & Learn offers a deeper look at the history behind the artifacts and some of the stories you may not know.


Come hungry for lunch, local history and a few stories from Winter Garden's past.


Lunch will be provided by City BBQ
