Your taxes at work! A special tax district was established in 1951 to continue construction on West Orange Memorial Hospital, which had halted in 1949 because of a lack of funds. It stood at the northwest corner of Dillard and Division streets in Winter Garden. This photograph from May 1960 shows the hospital staff celebrating National Hospital Week. 

The Winter Garden Heritage Foundation, which seeks to preserve heritage and architecture, celebrated its third decade with the debut of its History Research and Education Center.
