Goldenrod Station & Museum
The Goldenrod Historical Society was officially incorporated on October 17, 1984. It is a non-profit and tax-deductible organization, the goals of which are to collect and preserve the history and memorabilia of both Seminole and Orange County sections of the unincorporated com-munity of Goldenrod.
Ten years of hard work and dreaming on the part of many Goldenrod citizens came to fruition on Friday, August 11, 2000. On that day, the Goldenrod Historical Society accepted the keys to the Goldenrod Fire Station from Orange County as the first step in developing a new Community Center to be called the Goldenrod Station and Museum. Celebration of the Grand Opening of the Museum was held on October 6, 2001. As a community center the renovated Fire Station was also available to the community for business meetings, club meetings and social events. The rentals from these events helped defray the cost of maintaining the Station.
The Goldenrod Station housed the Goldenrod Historical Society & Museum. Sadly, in November of 2018 we officially closed our doors to the public due to circumstances beyond our control. Many thanks to the Orlando Regional History Center and the Museum of Seminole County History who graciously provided a home for our collection.
