South Lake Historical Society

The Historic Village in Clermont, Florida has some exciting features! It is at the corner of West Avenue and Osceola Streets. The Train Depot there is the original station built in the early 1900s. Added next door to the Train Depot is the Townsend House, and then, the Kern House. The original Cooper Memorial Library building is scheduled to be added to the site within the next few months.

The Bike Trail which runs all the way to Apopka goes right beside the Historic Village. It was part of the "Rails to Trails" initiative and the Trail runs next to the Train Depot where the railroad tracks were originally. Lake Minneola gives a beautiful water view as you jog, walk, bike or simply visit the Historic Village and sit on the porch!

Volunteers have been the backbone of the Clermont Historic Village. Wonderfully talented retirees, and other professional and interested people have a vision for this project. The officials of the City of Clermont continue to help in many ways to insure that the project will be stable and secure for generations to come.
