A look inside Orlando’s 1976 Bicentennial Time Capsule 📰📼

Buried at Lake Eola in 1976, the capsule held newspapers, photos and pieces of our city’s history. Fifty years later, they show just how much we’ve grown and how the past still connects to the Orlando we’re building today.

A BIG day in Orlando history ⛲️

On this date in 1957, more than 170,000 people gathered at Lake Eola to celebrate the dedication of its iconic fountain. In 1965, it was renamed the Linton E. Allen Memorial Fountain, honoring the local banker who first championed the idea of the landmark.
