 The Lake County Historical Museum, located at 317 W. Main Street in Tavares, recently introduced a new exhibit in Gallery IV titled, “Spanish Pathways through Florida.”
The exhibit will be open until the end of September and includes a host of information and artifacts about Hernando DeSoto’s expedition for gold that originated from Charlotte Harbor, Florida in 1539. “Most people don’t realize the Spanish marched through Lake County on their way northward,” said Dr. Diane Kamp, Director of Lake County Museums.
The museum, which features free admission, is open 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays. There is always something new to see and do at the Lake County Historical Museum for you history buffs.
