History Museum, Winter Park, Visitor Guide & Things to Do Nearby

The History Museum at 200 W New England Ave in Winter Park, Florida, is a stop for visitors who want to learn about the story of the city and the community around it. It sits in central Winter Park, so it is easy to combine with a walk through the surrounding streets.

Tips for your visit

• Check current opening hours and any admission details before you go, as these can change through the year.
• Plan a short visit if you only want an overview, and allow more time if you like reading displays and talking with staff or volunteers.
• Florida afternoons can be hot, so the morning or late afternoon is more comfortable if you also want to walk around the area on foot.
• Pair the museum with a stroll through the nearby streets, parks and shops of central Winter Park, which are all close enough to reach without a car.

Explore it on a quest

A museum tells you about a place, but a walk lets you see it. The best way to connect the two is to explore the area on one of Questo's self-guided quests: you walk from place to place, the app tells you about each stop as you arrive, and you solve a puzzle in what is in front of you. Start any time, with no guide and no group to join. Browse the quests in Winter Park to find a route.
