Boca Raton Historical Society
The Boca Raton Historical Society (BRHS) is a non-profit membership organization, founded in 1972. Since its inception, the BRHS has taken on ambitious restoration projects, provided first-rate cultural programming, and followed its mission: to collect, preserve, and present information and artifacts relevant to the past and evolving history of Boca Raton, and to maintain a visible role in education and advocacy of historic preservation in our community.The BRHS is known primarily for its stewardship of two landmark buildings in Boca Raton: Town Hall and the F.E.C. Railway Station (the Count de Hoernle Pavilion). Both buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places and have received the Florida Trust?s prestigious Historic Preservation Award. These restorations, paid for by private and public funds, are testaments to the community?s dedication to preservation. Through these projects, the Historical Society has set the architectural tone for the city and achieved a leadership role in downtown redevelopment and new development in Boca Raton.The Historical Society?s current focus is its offering of a wide range of educational opportunities that provide the community with a tangible link between its past and present. It begins with its own vital repository of archival information about the formative years of Boca Raton, its families, and its economy. The Town Hall library houses a permanent exhibition of historic maps, photographs and documents, Mizner memorabilia, and other treasures.
