The Orange County Regional History Center is a multimuseum complex in Orlando, Florida, anchored by a history museum housed in a renovated 1927 courthouse. It functions as a regional cultural institution that preserves and shares Central Florida’s evolving story through permanent and traveling exhibits, as well as programs and a research library. Affiliated with the Smithsonian Institution and a member of the American Alliance of Museums, the center integrates a range of resources—including a historical collection, the Joseph L. Brechner Research Library, and a park—into a broader mission of education and community engagement. Its work targets visitors and researchers interested in Central Florida’s history, providing access to curated materials and exhibitions that illuminate the region’s past and its present context. The organization operates from downtown Orlando and has positioned itself within the museum and historical-site segment of the cultural sector, delivering interpretive experiences and opportunities for learning across diverse audiences.
