The Seminole Historical Society encourages and invites the public to share their memories and stories of historical Seminole. Are you a descendant of a Seminole Settler? Possibly you have had a conversation with a neighbor, that "remembers when Seminole Boulevard was paved with pine straw." Did your Grandparents ride in horse and buggy to the post office? Yes! There was a time when the U.S. Post Office did not deliver the mail.
The Seminole Historical Society reserves the right to edit submissions. The Seminole Historical Society, makes no claim to historical facts in personal submissions. Where there is documented proof of historical events or persons submitted, we shall post such evidence. The Heritage Village in Pinellas County offers an archive, open to the public for research.
We invite you to help us preserve our area history. The Seminole Historical Society can assist in preserving your memories, here, in our Virtual Museum. Contact us today to submit your written Seminole Memory and or photographs. If you have published, out of circulation books and or documents, pertaining to the history of the Seminole, Florida area, consider donating them to The Seminole Historical Society archives.

Historical location of the Elizabeth, later, the Williams-Baker Grove, as told by Barbara Baker Smith. Part one, letter. Part two, images.
We all have heard of individuals who make history. A person generally makes history for some important accomplishment they have made. How about inventors? Surely, plenty of inventors have made history. These, often very important people in society, make their very own history. They and only they can tell their story, like no other. Well, now you say, “Places, like towns and cities can make history.” Indeed, they can. Moreover, who, we ask, could tell a town story? One person? Who would that person be? The first Mayor? The first family that settled in that town? Wait now, “A family is more than one person,” you say. There you have it! It takes more than one person to tell the history of a place. Not one person, man or woman could tell all of the history, the story of Seminole, Florida - all by themselves.
