OVIEDO HISTORICAL SOCIETY, INC.
OVIEDO, FLORIDA

The Oviedo Historical Society, Inc. is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the rich history and heritage of eastern Seminole County's rural communities. Originally established in November 1973 by local citizens, the society expanded its mission in 2007 with the formation of the Island & Village of Geneva Rural Heritage Center, which celebrates and preserves the region's unique cultural legacy. It operates under the 501(c)(3) status granted by the IRS. The organization received a generous donation from the Seminole County School Board in 2009: the historic Geneva school house serves as its headquarters. This partnership involves collaborating with rural areas such as Black Hammock, Chuluota, Geneva, and Snow Hill to foster educational engagement through hands-on learning experiences for the Central Florida community. The Oviedo Historical Society offers various services including organizing The Farmer's Market and hosting events that aim to strengthen community ties. Interested individuals can learn about upcoming meetings or events and connect by visiting their fan page online. The society is also actively seeking additional vendors who are interested in participating in its farmer's market initiatives. The organization, incorporated on November 26, 1974, with the filing number 731259, operates principally from a mailing address in Oviedo, FL. Key contacts include Desta Horner (Vice President), Gabriel Perez-Pujols (Treasurer), and Janet Foley among its officers or directors. Contact information includes phone numbers for further inquiries, and the most recent annual report was filed on April 28, 2024.
