Winter Park's History is all around us!

At the beginning of the semester I decided to join crew, which entails a mile and a half run to and from the boat house 4 days a week (very tiring!). We have to run down the whole of Interlachen Avenue on our way to the boat house. As I was cycling back to Rollins after practise (due to an injury...not the point) this evening I noticed a sign for the Charles. H. Morse Park - Mr. Charles Morse was the husband of the founder of the Women's Club on January 13th 1915 who also purchased the plot of land that became the Women's Club clubhouse and still is to this day. I had never realized to what extent our present is influenced by the past.
