» Navigation » Orlando Attractions

A historic five-story masterpiece offers Orlando residents and visitors alike fascinating insight into how this region has made its transition from a small town surrounded by citrus groves and cattle ranches to today’s thriving urban community.

The Orange County Regional History Center is home to the varied and extensive collections of the Historical Society of Central Florida, Inc. Located in the heart of downtown Orlando in the beautifully restored 1927 Orange County Courthouse, the History Center is continuously distinguished as the area’s best museum. With an exciting roster of ever-changing exhibits, the History Center is one of Central Florida’s premier cultural attractions. From guided tours and hands-on history events to fun-packed, interactive children’s programs, learning is fun for all ages.

Note: Parking is free at the Orlando Public Library parking garage with museum validation at the General Admissions ticket counter.
