NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
BEFORE THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD

The Historical Board Has Some Excellent News!!

Did you know the Town’s oldest structure is a schoolhouse that was built in the late 1800s?

The Windermere Historical Board has been awarded a small matching grant from the Florida Department of State via the Bureau of Historic Preservation for the relocation and restoration of the Windermere 1890 schoolhouse! The schoolhouse is currently located on 7th Avenue and will be relocated to Town Square behind Town Hall between the library and the Community Room, and will be restored as an authentic representation of a one room schoolhouse in the late 1800s. As part of the grant, there has been a team of archaeologists working around the schoolhouse’s current location and where it will be moved, so if you see folks with shovels, levels and sorting screens don’t panic and don’t hesitate to ask them questions about the schoolhouse and the fascinating field of Archaeology. Stay tuned to the Town website and newsletter for updates on this very important project and upcoming fundraisers by the Historical Board.

Remember…with every passing moment, we make History!
