After the past two years, everyone can use a break, so why not go to the Historic Village and spend a relaxing afternoon? Start with a leisurely stroll on the trail overlooking beautiful Lake Minneola and then tour the buildings at the Village. Either take advantage of the many diverse eateries in downtown Clermont or bring a picnic lunch to eat at one of the many picnic tables under the shade of the Depot pavilion. See the home of Clermont’s first African American residents, the original Cooper Memorial Library, a World War II Quonset hut, and much more. Tour guides are on hand to give guided tours, or simply tour the buildings at your own pace.
Conveniently located at 490 West Avenue in Clermont, the Historic Village is the result of a long-standing partnership between the City of Clermont and the Clermont Historical Society. The Village is open every Saturday and Sunday from 1:00 to 4:00 pm.
A donation of $5.00 per person over 12 is requested.
