Story "The historic buildings of Lake Wales, like those in any town or city, are not just pieces of nostalgia or pleasant diversions for visitors, but tangible links with the past that provide for residents a sense of continuity. They serve as milestones which allow people who grow up in the company of the buildings a way to view their lives in historical perspective. Historic buildings testify to the cultural values of the people who built the town and who continue to live in it. Historic preservation accordingly serves as a stabilizing force in community life. In various ways, the ethic also offers economic opportunity. The preservation of a commercial district or residential neighborhood whose buildings complement one another in their architectural appearance helps to maintain their economic value. Historic places that have sensitively preserved their architectural heritage attract new residents and visitors alike. The importance of that fact to a town situated in central Florida cannot be emphasized too strongly." ~William R. Adams, Historic Lake Wales Mission The mission of the Historic Lake Wales Society is to ensure that the cultural and historical integrity of the Lake Wales area is preserved and protected for future generations to enjoy. In addition to promoting the history and culture of Lake Wales, the society serves as the major fund-raising and private support group for the Lake Wales Museum and Cultural center, the City of Lake Wales, and the historic preservation and commemoration projects for the area.
