The Society is dedicated to preserving Florida's past through the collection and archival maintenance of historical documents and photographs, the publication of scholarly research on Florida history and historic preservation projects. Florida Historical Society headquarters are located in the Library of Florida History in historic Cocoa Village. Our building was originally a US Post Office built in 1939.
