Historic Photographs
The Photographic Archive of the Polk County Historical Association was initiated by former board member Louise Frisbie. Members of the Association contributed photographs from their personal collections. Many of these photographs were submitted to the Florida State Archives, where they can be viewed online. Florida State Archives link. This is a unique visual portrayal of people and places in Polk County for more than a century.
