Osceola County Historical Society

Explore the historic Ross Lanier House (1889), sit in a one-room Schoolhouse, examine the workings of Citrus Packing House (1882), ponder the daily routine of a Florida Cracker Cow Man at the Cow Camp, browse the many exhibits of the Museum (including the turn-of-the-century Tress News Stand), then make a purchase at the Tyson General Store (1887). Then take a break and have a family picnic among the sweet fragrances of our Orange Grove. Researchers will enjoy browsing our genealogical records or historical maps and archives. Teachers can lead their students through a living history experience at our site.
