All are Welcome at No Charge | Pizza and Light Refreshments Served
A special thanks to all who attended our Annual Membership Meeting on February 4, 2026, and a word of gratitude as well to Palm Harbor Library for making their Community Room available to us for the last three years and again this year.
2025 was a busy and exciting year for the Palm Harbor Historical Society as our Florida Historical Marker was dedicated, we featured four Intergenerational Family Discovery Days, presented local authors in Meet-And-Greets at the Museum, cared for our thriving Native Landscape Gardens with the help of volunteers from our community, and presented a stellar lineup of monthly speakers in our 2025 Palm Harbor Museum Presents speakers series. Both our Annual English Tea and Wine Around Palm Harbor—our premiere fundraising events—were sold out and highly successful. Our final campaign of 2025 met its $10,000 goal by the close of 2025—THANK YOU!
Deepest thanks to Bob Fortner, for all he has done to steer us forward as President from 2021 to 2026, and to Lynn Geist—we appreciate you for taking the helm as President of our Board for 2026-2027.
To our Board of Directors, our many dedicated and gifted volunteers, sponsors, and members, we express our deepest appreciation for all you have done to create each successful year for us and to bring to fruition what we know will be an extraordinary 2026 for Palm Harbor Historical Society and Palm Harbor Museum.
