About Pine Castle Historical Society

The Pine Castle Historical Society preserves and shares the history of the Pine Castle community in Orlando through exhibits, collections, and educational programs. Visitors explore the Crawford House, a restored historic building furnished with pieces from local pioneer families that illustrate the area's architectural heritage and craftsmanship. The society maintains archives including Pine Castle Elementary School yearbooks with photographs and artifacts spanning from the 1800s to the present day. Members and visitors can attend quarterly meetings and participate in community activities such as the Annual Chili Cook-Off, the History Tent at Pioneer Days, and Annual BBQ and Bluegrass events. The organization publishes books and pamphlets about Pine Castle history, including coloring books for younger learners. A visit suits anyone interested in local history, community heritage, and understanding how past traditions shaped the Pine Castle area. The Crawford House museum will have interactive screens for visitors to learn about people and businesses that shaped Pine Castle and the greater south Orange County area. Tours of the Crawford House are planned for students and the public.
