The Freight
We are proud to share that the Lake Wales History Museum received a $12,000 grant from the Mountain Lake Community Service organization. This funding supports the first phase of transforming our back freight room into a fully functional program space and rental venue, The Freight. Enables us to host more internal programs and community events. Opens new opportunities for private rentals, making it a long-term revenue generator. Enhances our ability to serve as a cultural and educational resource for Lake Wales.
