Fort Meade Historical Society, Fort Meade

This is a most remarkable museum. It is housed in the town's antique schoolhouse. Inside are so many items donated by people of the town. Almost everything has an explanation tag attached to it. If you still have questions after viewing things there are ladies that live in Ft. Mead to answer them. There are things from vintage homemakers items to schoolhouse items to vintage clothing to actual newspapers of the town's history. Very nice. There are also items outside the museum to see. We had a personal tour of the vintage train cars on site too. We were also in invited to the town's Mayday maypole celebration. It is to be performed by the schoolchildren of Ft. Mead. It is May 1, beginning somewhere around 8:30 AM.🙂

Fort Meade Historical Society is the oldest small town in interior SW Florida and if you like history this is worth a look see. Not very big, packed with historical artifacts. Give it a try, you'll be glad you did!
