Historical Museum

Since 1974, the Plantation Historical Society has dedicated its time and resources to preserving the City’s history.  The group has educated and enlightened residents and visitors from around the world about our history and those who have worked to make Plantation, “Your Place in the Sun.”  We are always searching for dedicated individuals to be part of this exciting journey of studying the past and documenting the present for future generations.
