About the event

Raise a glass to history! Join us for an evening of light bites, refreshments, and great company as we celebrate the opening of America 250: Patriotism on Plant St. Mingle with fellow community members, explore the gallery, and toast to the once-in-a-lifetime milestone of America's 250th anniversary, right here on Plant Street in the heart of Winter Garden.


This special exhibition explores the origins of our nation and how the stories of America's Revolution have reverberated in West Orange County for over a century. From the earliest days of Winter Garden's founding to the present, our community has honored the core values of America at home and defended them overseas. Experience it all through photos and artifacts from West Orange County and beyond.


RSVP is required to attend. Space is limited, reserve your spot today!
