History
The Clearwater Historical Society was founded in 1978 as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. In 2014, the Society signed a lease with the Pinellas County School Board to save and convert to a museum downtown Clearwater's South Ward School. On June 15, 2019, the Society opened the Museum and Cultural Center in that school. The mission of the Clearwater Historical Society is to educate, collect, preserve, exhibit and promote the people, culture and events of Clearwater's rich past.
