Coral Springs turns 62 and invites residents to celebrate at the museum of Coral Springs history with free tours, treats, and fun city trivia

Coral Springs, Florida – Coral Springs is turning 62, and the city is inviting all residents to join in the celebration this week at the place where it all began — the Museum of Coral Springs History. The exciting event is scheduled for Thursday, July 10, from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., and will take place at the museum, located at 10250 NW 29th Street in Mullins Park. For those unfamiliar with the museum’s location, it’s housed in a small white building next to the Mullins Pool, a beloved local spot.

The museum will offer free tours, guided by members of the city’s Historical Advisory Committee. The city historian will also be on hand to answer questions and share fascinating stories about Coral Springs’ humble beginnings. It’s hard to imagine, but the city was once a rural area where cows outnumbered people, and the bustling Sawgrass Expressway hadn’t even been built yet. These tours provide a unique opportunity to learn about the early days of Coral Springs, a community that has evolved into one of the most vibrant and dynamic cities in South Florida.

As part of the festivities, the first 100 visitors will be treated to free snacks, a perfect way to enjoy the warm summer afternoon while soaking in the city’s rich history. In addition to the sweet treats, limited-edition Coral Springs merchandise will be available for sale, offering residents a chance to take home a keepsake from this special event.
