Putnam County Historical Society and Museum The Putnam County Historical Society operates two historic museums in the City of Palatka and hosts county-wide educational events on a bimonthly basis.

The Putnam County Historical Society was incorporated in June of 1966. As stated in its articles of incorporation "the general purposes and objects of this corporation shall be to aid in the discovery and preservation of historical objects and events; to obtain funds for the erection of historical monuments and museums; to promote the interest of all people in the history of our area, particularly Putnam County." The Society pursues these goals through several outlets, including: operating the Bronson-Mulholland House and the Putnam Historic Museum, hosting bimonthly historical programs, and its involvement in historical preservation. The Bronson-Mulholland House is open to the public for tours Saturday and Sunday from 1:00 P.M. to 4:00 P.M. Admission is free but donations are gladly accepted.

We are looking for a 9 foot Balsam Hill flip tree style in very good to excellent condition for Christmas. Preferably with working warm white lights. If you have a tree that is too big for your new home (or too small) and fits our needs, we are a 501(c)3 and will provide a letter for your donation. Thank you and (almost) Merry Christmas. 🎄

Discover the architectural story connecting Palatka, Henry John Klutho, and Frank Lloyd Wright.

Join the City of Palatka Community Redevelopment Agency for a presentation by Dr. Wayne Wood on Thursday, October 15, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. at the Larimer Arts Center.
His talk, Frank Lloyd Wright and His Influence on Florida Architecture, will explore Klutho’s place in American architecture, his relationship with Wright, and how he came to design two important buildings right here in Palatka.

We hope you’ll join us!
