About Polk County Historical Museum

The Polk County History Center is located at 100 East Main Street, Bartow, Florida, in the historic Old Polk County Courthouse. The museum consists of exhibits presenting local and regional history from pre-Columbian to present eras and a library with items pertaining to the history and genealogy of the eastern United States.

A research project to use Historic Building Information Modeling (HBIM) technology to digitally preserve and reconstruct the OPCC building was conducted to archive the courthouse for preservation, operations, and maintenance.
