Longwood Historic Society
Celebrating the present, while preserving the past.
Our Properties
The Longwood Historic Society owns and maintains three buildings within the historic district. They date to the 1870s and 1880s.
Historic Civic Center
The “HCC” has been a community hub since 1880. The former home of the Civic League is now our clubhouse. It’s available for rent for your gatherings of up to 80 people.
Inside-Outside House
This mail order home was assembled in 1873 in Altamonte Springs. It was moved here in 1973 and is now home to Cottage Gift Shop, open six days a week.
Bradlee-McIntyre House
Nathaniel Bradlee built this as his winter cottage in 1885 in Altamonte Springs, relocated here in 1973. It is now a museum, open for tours on Wednesdays and Sundays.
