It's day 2 of the lifestyle Lolita challenge! 363 more days to go. @_@
Today's challenge is...
I live in a very small town, so there weren't many museums that came to mind. I decided to include the whole county, which consists of 3 small towns, and I discovered that there are quite a few museums here. Most of them about local history and the military.
I want to start closer to home and work my way further away.
1.
Avon Park Depot Museum "Your ticket to the past."
The museum used to be an old train station. Inside there are exhibits that depict life in the city in the 1800s, furniture from the city's founders' home included. There is an old train car outside and you can dine inside and pretend that you're taking a trip in a train back in the 19th century.

SFSC Museum of Florida Art and Culture 3.
The Children's Museum of the Highlands "The Children's Museum of the Highlands purpose is to provide a safe area for children to learn and explore. "

Lake Placid Historical Society Like many small towns, Lake Placid has a rich history and the Lake Placid Historical Society is proud to share it with you. Located in the old Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Depot, the museum showcases many exhibits from Lake Placid and other areas from days gone by. Photos, documents, railroad equipment and other historic items are displayed in unique surroundings.
In addition to the indoor collection, the museum is home to an antique caboose, a 1929 steam engine and Lake Placid's antique jail from the 1920s.
6.
Toby The Clown Foundation, inc This place actually teaches people "the art of clowning". They also have a small museum dedicated to American Clowns. At last count, more than 700 significant pieces of clown memorabilia can be found within the walls of Toby’s American Clown Museum and School.
