The City of Lauderhill, now 54 years
old, was incorporated in 1959.
Lauderhill’s rich history is a source of pride for both former and
current residents.
On, Thursday, December 5th,
2013 at 4:00 PM, a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony will take place to open the new
Historical Museum located in Wally Elfers Park, and YOU ARE INVITED!!!
The Mayor and Commissioners appointed several leaders from the
community to help gather artifacts and information to adorn the walls and
display cases at the Historical Museum. The Museum is located in the exact
location of the very first City Hall for the City of Lauderhill. The contents
displayed in the Museum were donated by members of the public. The story boards
are collections of newspaper articles along with Lauderhill’s legislative
history that tell the fascinating stories of how Lauderhill became the All
America City that it is today.
“Members of
the Historical Commission are hoping to continuously collect artifacts from the
public after The Museum opens its doors,”
says Tom Harney, Chair of the Committee.
They expect to continue to add to the displays as well as rotate them
when additional donations are made. Future phases of the museum include audio
and video displays as well.
The Historical Museum will have meeting and recreation rooms that the
Parks and Leisure Services Department will schedule.
If you plan on attending the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for the opening of
the Lauderhill Historical Museum, please call Katia at 954-730-3000 or email
her at kpeter@lauderhill-fl.gov no later than December 2, 2013.
Wally Elfers Park is located at 1080
NW 47th Avenue, in the City of Lauderhill.
