Behind Closed Doors: The Collection Revisited

The Maitland Historical Society was founded in 1970 as a result of a Maitland?s Women?s Club initiative to preserve Maitland?s history. Early members of the Society began collecting priceless stories and artifacts from local pioneer families and in 1977, the Maitland Historical Museum opened its doors. As the Society grew, it opened three additional museums to better serve its goal of bringing Florida history to life. See some of the rarely displayed pieces when the A&H?s Maitland Historical Museum opens its collections doors in this exhibit filled with historical treasures.
