About the event
One of two railroads serving Winter Garden during the city’s earliest days, the Tavares & Gulf Railroad seemed plagued by an almost daily onslaught of challenges, the least of which was simply keeping the train on the track. But despite its troubles, the railroad played a major role in the development of Winter Garden and West Orange County.
