History Alive! Florida’s Pioneering Spirit

On the first Saturday of every month, history comes alive at the Orange County Regional History Center! From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., visitors can engage with history through interactive experiences and themed hands-on activities the whole family can enjoy. Explore the many ways Central Floridians have blazed new trails and found the pioneering spirit that helped shape the community we know today. Inspired by how early settlers lived, you’ll learn how to make your own beeswax candle, explore pioneer artifacts, and more! Activities included with museum admission.
