About Friends of the Sarasota County History Center
Friends of the Sarasota County History Center operates from the Historic Osprey School House on the Tamiami Trail, where visitors explore Sarasota County's cultural heritage through archives, exhibits, and educational programs. The center holds hundreds of baseball-related items from the county's past and maintains a collection of historical artifacts and rare history books. Visitors can participate in live interviews with storytellers of Sarasota County, attend lectures by Dr. Josh Goodman covering local history, and view "Life and Times Portrayals" performances by historian Kathryn Chesley depicting ten historic women. The Memory Lab offers free digitization equipment to convert family records, photographs, and video tapes into digital files. The organization sponsors auto tours with historical markers throughout the county and maintains an online archive accessible through the History Center's website. Members receive free admission to lectures and programs plus special invitations to events and tours. The museum in Osprey serves history enthusiasts, genealogy researchers, and anyone seeking to understand Sarasota County's past.
