Historical Winter Park

Winter Park Historical Association is a quaint museum in the heart of Winter Park’s historic Park Avenue near Rollins College. To celebrate ArtsFest, the museum hosted a series of classes for children called “That ‘70s Show” for children from 2 to 6 years old. Delta Dawn and Sunny invited you into their living room and back to a simpler time. Through interactive song, games and stories, they recreated the spirit of the seventies and gave kids a glimpse of Winter Park’s past. For more information call 407.647.2330 or visit www.wphistory.org. The museum is a small, brick building that showcased art, photography, and fashion from that era. When I walked inside I was greeted with a huge smile and a tour. Some of the photos on the wall included images of what the stores on Park Avenue used to look like. It truly felt like I was walking back in time for a moment. We visited all around the area to find the current buildings to match them up with the photos from the museum for our video.
