First meeting of Historical Society of Lake Worth last night and did you know our City has a historical museum?

It was a real good turnout Downtown at Brogues, especially considering it was a Sunday evening. Later on today will go through my notes and provide more details, so check back later today or tomorrow morning. No information was given on the next meeting; when I find out will let you know.

Just as I was walking out the door to attend this meeting grabbed my Cottages of Lake Worth book and glad I did. Passed the book around and it was a big hit. The delivery of books is expected early next month. If you already purchased a book you'll have it in your hands shortly. If you would like to purchase a book use this link or call Janice at 561-586-6617.

On the subject of our City's history, did you know there's a Lake Worth Historical Museum? The hours are Wednesday and Friday from 1:00–4:00 and tours by appointment: Call 561-533-7354. About our City's long history there's another fascinating book titled, On Lake Worth*:

"With over 200 fascinating photographs, On Lake Worth illustrates the rich history of the city from its beginning. See its growth from a small settlement around Lake Worth, named for Major General William Jenkins Worth, to a bustling community alive with energy. Join author Beverly Mustaine on a fascinating photographic tour that chronicles the community’s past. Discover the city’s story, from the early pioneers and their initial movement to the area to Henry Flagler and his dream of turning Palm Beach into a great winter resort. Included are rare photos, most of which are previously unpublished, which highlight significant events throughout the area’s history. Images of Flagler’s hotels in the early pioneer days, the 1928 hurricane that devastated the area, and scenes of World War II, as seen from the shores of Lake Worth, are revealed in this collection."

This book, authored by Beverly Mustaine, can be purchased on Amazon using this link and is also available for purchase at the Lake Worth Library (15 North 'M' Street; call 561-533-7354).
