Historical Markers

The Florida Historical Marker Program recognizes historic resources, persons and events that are significant in the areas of architecture, archaeology, Florida history and traditional culture by promoting the placing of historic markers and plaques at sites of historical and visual interest to visitors. The purpose of the program is to increase public awareness of the rich cultural heritage of the state and to enhance the enjoyment of historic sites in Florida by its citizens and tourists.  These markers can be generally identified by their green background and gold lettering.

The Seminole County Historical Commission, an Advisory Board appointed by the Board of County Commissioners, recommends the placement of historical markers that are of particular interest to visitors and citizens of Seminole County.  Funding for the markers is by the citizens of Seminole County through the Board of County Commissioners.  These markers can be generally identified by their black background with white lettering.

The Sallie Harrison Chapter of Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) placed the markers for Fort Mellon, Fort Mellon Park, Rollins College, Speer Grove and the Chamber of Commerce Flagpole Cannon Base.

Listed below are the Historical Markers as well as other points of particular interest all located in Seminole County Florida.  The markers and points of interest are grouped by "trips" which will allow viewing the sites in an orderly manner.  Included are "way points" which will assist in locating the sites through the use of a Global Positioning System (GPS) unit.  To view a picture of the Marker or Site and read the inscription, click the name of the marker in the chart(s) below.
