Leesburg Heritage Museum

The Leesburg Heritage Museum contains exhibits depicting the history of Leesburg. The building itself, constructed in 1922 by the Leesburg Woman's Club, was previously home to various businesses and organizations, including the Leesburg Chamber of Commerce and the Leesburg Library. The museum is crammed with artifacts and items that help tell the story about Leesburg – from the days that citrus was king and the popular Watermelon Festival was a highlight for kids and adults alike, to the Leesburg Centennial in 1957 and gathering places such as the Magnolia Hotel and the Lake View Hotel.
