Beginnings

Vernon’s historical preservation effort began in September 1998. Members of the historical society collected artifacts, photographs, and documents that represented the people, places, events, and lifestyles of Vernon and the surrounding communities.

Mission

It is the mission of the Vernon Historical Society to provide its citizens with a venue to learn of their past and to preserve the rich heritage of one of the first settlements in the “Florida Territory.” It is also our mission to foster a greater understanding and appreciation of the difficult lives of our ancestors and their amazing pioneering spirit.
